CODIFY CULTURE EXPLICITLY

YOU’RE FACING THIS CHALLENGE IF:

• Your culture depends on long • time members to maintain • New participants struggle to understand “how things work here” • Culture dilutes or varies as you grow • You lack formal mechanisms to teach core values and norms

THE BREAKTHROUGH PRINCIPLE:

Transform implicit community norms into explicit, transmissible cultural elements that can be systematically shared and maintained even during rapid expansion.

START RIGHT NOW:

1. Identify one implicit cultural norm that new members often miss
2. Document this norm explicitly, including the “why” behind it
3. Create a specific mechanism to teach this element to newcomers

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

Your distinctive culture remains consistent despite rapid growth, with new members quickly adopting core values and norms.
