  • A Better Way to Talk About Company Culture

    Company culture isn’t built through slogans or surveys alone—it’s shaped by the conversations people are willing (and able) to have.


    Company Culture: A Game of Workplace Traction Not Transaction® is a facilitated, play-based experience that helps teams explore values, surface assumptions, and connect everyday behaviors to the culture they’re creating together.


    At Lead at Any Level®, we use this tool to support honest dialogue, shared understanding, and meaningful progress—especially during times of change.

What Is the Company Culture Game?

The Company Culture game is a structured conversation tool designed to help teams talk openly about workplace values and behaviors—without defensiveness or jargon.


Through guided prompts and facilitated discussion, participants reflect on:

  • What values mean in practice

  • How culture shows up in daily decisions

  • Where expectations align—or don’t


Unlike surveys or icebreakers, the game creates space for thoughtful dialogue, not quick answers.


The Company Culture game is one of the tools Lead at Any Level® uses to support culture-focused leadership development.

Why Culture Conversations Are Hard—and Necessary

Most organizations say culture matters.

Fewer create space to talk about it honestly.


Teams often struggle because:

  • Values sound good but mean different things to different people

  • Culture discussions feel abstract, awkward, or unsafe

  • Feedback gets filtered—or avoided altogether


Without shared language and structure, culture conversations stall.

This game helps teams slow down, listen, and engage with intention.

How the Game Creates Better Conversations

The goal of Company Culture isn’t competition—it’s connection.

The game works because it:

  • Gives everyone a voice

  • Encourages reflection rather than debate

  • Makes abstract values concrete

  • Shifts focus from “right answers” to real experiences

When facilitated thoughtfully, it helps teams:

  • Surface unspoken assumptions

  • Understand impact across roles and perspectives

  • Build trust through shared understanding

  • Enhance camaraderie and team cohesion

Shared Understanding

Psychological Safety

Clarity
