From Teams to Tribes:Creating a “One Team” Culture
summary
Claim: moving from isolated teams to a “tribe” raises trust, speed and retention by changing rituals and leadership behaviour. Implements small teams (7±2), visual boards, daily standups and a daily cross‑tribe sync (the continuous human integration cocktail party) plus monthly Unity hour. Creates shared identity—example EDW Release Train with 100 printed T‑shirts—and a leadership gemba and improvement kanban that fixes blockers (one 6–8 week RAM request resolved immediately). Measures culture with quarterly eNPS two‑question surveys. Communication scale shows five people = 10 links, ten = 46.
