The Cool Vibe Culture

Everyone talks about results, working hard, and success in the business world. But only a few people talk about the culture, and not in pompous and general words, but with specific ideas. In this post, I’ll try to explain the vibe of an organization.

I strongly believe that when you work in a team, you really need to have a great vibe so that people, regardless of how successful they are in business, don’t hate waking up and going to work every day.

Things that create a great vibe (based on my experience):
– Being able to laugh and joke, even during business meetings,
– Texting coworkers in an actual human language, without clichés and formalisms,
– Saying “no” to toxic behavior and saying “yes” to nonviolent communication,
– Not being afraid to sound stupid and ask questions when one doesn’t understand something,
– Helping each other instead of telling people they are wrong or sending them away;
– Trusting each other and viewing every team member as a professional. Although, if they systematically fail, the team shouldn’t keep the person just because they’re nice,
– Not having “big shots” who enjoy inadequate privileges, communicate through third parties, and may not respect basic team rules.

If you don’t have that comfortable vibe, if you constantly have to deal with toxic people, if you can’t be yourself at work, then you will hate your job every single day. Obviously, you can’t expect good results with such an attitude.
On the contrary, following principles similar to those described above, you’d want to go to work and take on new tasks even in the most challenging times.
