Download Guide: The Culture Iceberg
A practical guide to understanding what’s visible in culture, what’s hidden below the surface, and how to shift the beliefs and behaviors that shape everyday experience
Culture is shaped by what we can easily see and name (mission, values, and explicit expectations), as well as what often goes unspoken (norms, behaviors, assumptions, and patterns). The Culture Iceberg framework helps teams explore both what is above the surface and what is below it, so you can better understand what is helping your culture thrive and what may be getting in the way.
This guide provides a simple, practical structure to facilitate a 1:1 or team conversation, including:
- Pre-work prompts to help participants come prepared with examples across the iceberg
- A 60 to 90 minute session agenda with check-in questions and discussion prompts
- A process for identifying themes and naming what you want to stop, start, and see more of
- Wrap-up and accountability ideas to support follow-through after the conversation
We hope this resource helps you create space for honest reflection and build shared ownership for the culture you want to strengthen.
