Jakub Stencel on defining and maintaining organisational culture

Jakub Stencel is the recently appointed interim director of Anima International. A refreshingly candid conversation about organisational culture, transparency and its limits, as well as the constant journey of testing and learning that Anima undertakes. Jakub talks us through his thinking on culture in an expanding organisation, split across multiple countries and how his first important task as interim director is to assess whether Anima International should continue to exist, or, if other organisational structures could save time, resource and increase impact for animals.Resources:Fearless Organisation - Amy EdmondsonKirsty Henderson Blog PostNo Rules Rules – Erin MeyerPowerful – Patty McCordSwarmwise - Rick FalkvingeCulture Map - Erin Meyer80,000 hours podcastAnima international Blog Keyvan Mostafavi Blog: Fighting animal suffering: beyond the number of animals killedRobert Sutton – No Asshole RuleThe E-myth RevisitedAnima International00:00:00:00 | Intro00:02:00:03 | A recent mistake others can learn from00:06:30:09 | Early days of Anima International00:10:39:20 | Work culture and transparency00:18:10:10 | How has this approach shaped the work at Anima?00:26:01:09 | Importance of small rituals00:32:50:23 | Building psychological safety00:35:45:06 | Hiring process00:46:23:07 | The transparent leadership transition00:52:42:18 | Vision for Anima International01:01:05:08 | Biggest mistake of Anima International01:13:51:05 | Closing questionsWith thanks to Tom Felbar (Ambedo Media) for amazing video and audio editing!Note: My (James') views here are my personal opinions and don't represent those of Coefficient Giving.If you enjoy the show, please leave a rating and review us - it means a lot to us!
