How do you grow while continuously strengthening your culture and developing antibodies to incompatible working styles?

Steven Writer-Maguire is Director at the consultancy Clarasys. He joined the firm 8 years ago and has overseen growth from 40 to over 200 people in London and Boston.

In this episode, Steven shares how he:

Rapidly transitioned away from a traditional hierarchical consultancy mindset to one of trust and enablement
Set up a Team of Teams model where multi-disciplinary teams make decisions and collectively solve client problems by themselves
Uses their monthly F**k Up Challenge so everyone can safely share mistakes and learnings
Encourages people to act as business owners and make their own decisions about what’s best for the company
Puts everyone through their internal course, Clarasys Code, so they all learn about emotional intelligence and neuroscience
Created the Clarasys Triangle (featuring People, Business and Clients) to guide their decision-making

Steven passionately shares his ‘why’: To build the best firm their people will ever work for. As a result, their culture gets stronger the larger they grow.
