Elephants, Deadfish, And Vomit, The Secret To Airbnb's Amazing Corporate Culture

from Future Ready Leadership With Jacob Morgan

In my newest book, The Employee Experience Advantage, Airbnb was ranked one of the best organizations for employee experience and there is a rather odd practice they implement that may be helping them create such a successful corporate culture. During every one of their regular company-wide meetings they bring up elephants, dead fish and vomit. Elephants are the big things inside of most organizations that no one dares to bring up, dead fish are the things that are in the past but the employees just can't seem to forget about them and let them go, and the vomit is the things we need to just get out into the open, the things we want to vent about. Most companies shy away from these topics, but Airbnb is not just addressing them, they are throwing them into the front and center of their company wide meetings. What are your organization's elephants, dead fish and vomit? Perhaps you aren't a huge fan of the labels given, but in the end it is all about creating a culture of transparency and trust. So what can your company do to help create a better culture and a better employee experience?
