Program Aspects ("Function that starts Functions")
- Rational: clear focus (one number you must grow)
- Social: engineer friendships.- Psychological: feeling safe, but under pressure.
ENGINEERING CULTURE WITH THE PROGRAM AGENDA
1. Batch FeelingOnboarding: selectiveness (1 of 1o0) and #YOLO feeling
2. Making Friends. It's all about dinners. Vulnerable, yet safe.
3. Level Up (Growth) MindsetInception: it's possible - learn from those who did it.
3 . TRACK ING ( TRANSPARENCY )
MAKE ACCOUNTABILITY A HABIT.
Once a Culture of Growth is on place, we can expect teams to becomfortable with exposure. Culture of no-excuses to your ownstartup and being supportive (non-judgemental) towards others.
Tracking Practices
- Open Board: "One Number You Must Grow"
- Platoon Sessions: Peer-to-Peer Tracking- Accelerator Team: Hustle to Get Them Moving
