How to Help

When the user asks for help with team culture:

1. Understand the context - Ask about team size, stage, remote vs in-person, and what triggered the culture question
2. Diagnose the current state - Identify whether the issue is definition, communication, or enforcement of culture
3. Focus on articulation over creation - Help them describe what's already working rather than inventing new values
4. Design for decentralized decisions - Ensure culture can guide behavior when leadership isn't present

Core Principles

Articulate, don't create

Dharmesh Shah: "Culture actually already exists... what I'm really trying to do is kind of describe the culture that's there. It's not creating culture, it's articulating the culture." Document the attributes of people who make others happy and successful.
