Working on leadership and culture
Do Better Habits
Working a leadership and culture begins with behavior. But what behaviors do you want to develop? And how do you do it?
We translate abstract themes into concrete, everyday behaviors. Whether it’s adhering to your organization’s core values, an intervention from a Do Better Scan or choosing a new leadership style: we make them tangible through behavior anchors.
We transform these anchors into Tiny Habits-small, achievable behaviors linked to existing routines. This creates a practical way to make values and insights really live in the organization.
With each small step, behaviors grow that visibly contribute to culture, leadership and performance in a sustainable way. Tiny Habits are based on insights from behavioral psychology, including the work of BJ Fogg (Stanford).
Tiny Habits
Tiny Habits are small, achievable behaviors that you link to existing routines. They require little effort, but step by step they ensure lasting change. By translating abstract values or leadership principles into such micro-actions, desired behavior becomes concrete, daily applicable and permanently embedded in the organization.
Effective change
Tiny Habits work because they connect to existing routines, are small enough to be sustained immediately, and provide positive reinforcement. This quickly creates a sense of success, causing behavior to naturally repeat and expand. The result: sustainable behavior change without significant resistance or reliance on motivation alone.
An example
Equal treatment 🡺
For example, the organization has set the following goal:
Ensuring that decisions are made fairly and objectively, without the influence of personal preferences, popularity or positions of power.
Underlying the theme “Equal Treatment” is the construct “Organizational Politics. View a wide selection of sample constructs.
Behavioral anchor 🡺
This includes, for example, the following observable leadership behaviors:
“I evaluate candidates for promotion objectively based on performance and skills. Personal preferences or relationships do not play a role. I make my evaluation criteria transparent and communicate my decisions constructively with all involved.”
Tiny Habits
Two examples you can use to make this concrete through tiny habits:
Trigger: After scheduling a review
Action: Write down in advance the objective criteria you will use.Trigger: After a promotion decision
Action: Explain to the team what criteria were decisive and how they were applied.
This is what a trajectory looks like
You can expect these steps when you do a Do Better Habits with us.
Diagnosis
We start with a sharp analysis of the development needs. This could be based on a Do Better Scan, a core values assessment or a specific challenge.
Dialogue
In open dialogue, we bring focus. Together we choose which themes are most urgent and relevant to translate into concrete behavior.
Design
Our change experts help turn abstract themes into clear behavioral anchors. We work these into practical Tiny Habits-small, achievable behaviors that are immediately applicable.
Develop
This is followed by implementation. We start small, test and learn. We then scale up successful habits widely, so that they become a sustainable part of the organizational culture.
