Your Shot of Fearless Culture #344: A Culture of Belonging
Where change agents find their weekly dose of culture insights and exercises, one topic at a time.
Before COVID disrupted our lives, leaders knew that belonging mattered, but many underestimated how much.
The pandemic was a wake-up call: belonging is not a nice-to-have – it’s hardwired into our DNA.
Social isolation can be as distressing as hunger or physical pain.
A strong sense of belonging increases job satisfaction, cuts turnover by half, and accelerates business success.
Belonging is essential, but how can you create such a culture?
This is my framework for belonging – the results of years of research and hands-on experience with hundreds of teams.
At the heart of it is the idea of having a shared identity. My framework focuses on four essential aspects: feeling welcomed, being trusted, caring for one another, and feeling valued.
This week, learn more about the framework and how to build a culture of belonging. Explore the resources and activities below.
Stay fearless, my friend.

One Thing to Try This Week
Broadcast appreciation beyond your team.
Tell everyone in the organization how grateful you feel for each member’s contribution to a project. Don’t stop thanking those involved – let their managers and other leaders know.
Promoting people’s accomplishments throughout the organization creates a culture of gratitude and makes everyone feel that they belong.
