Your culture is being built whether you're paying attention or not. Every day your team is deciding how they talk to each other, how they handle a client, how they deal with the thing that just went wrong. The only question is whether you set that or whether it sets itself.

This episode gets into the communication culture underneath a high-performing team: the way people talk, escalate and hold the line when the day gets loud. Just like a winning sporting side, when your team knows how you do things around here, the pressure has somewhere to go. When they don't, every dropped ball turns personal and the cracks start to show.

Dan and Az break down two simple tools you can put to work with your team this week. First, setting the expectation: getting crystal clear on the way we do things around here, so nobody's guessing. Second, pre-agreed accountability: making the hard conversation professional instead of personal by bringing people back to what you all agreed up front.
