Teibel Education provides consulting and leadership programs that transform outdated management practices to create accelerated and sustainable culture change.
Our philosophy
At the heart of our strategy and organization development work is the creation of a culture built around shared commitments. This work is based on “speech act” theory which empowers a unified approach of working together based on the building blocks of commitments: requests, promises, offers, and declarations. Through shared commitments, multiple stakeholders can adapt an approach to moving an organization forward, based on what they CAN agree on, despite different objectives and perspectives.
Principles in Organizational Engagements:
Helping individuals help themselves (teaching people to fish versus fishing for them).
Recognizing our role as partner to guide versus being the expert.
Taking responsibility for ensuring expectations are mutually understood on projects.
Ensuring the unique norms, structures, and histories of our clients are factored into our approach to culture change.
Supporting the creation of a culture built around shared commitments.
