Mike Morris, CEO, Topcoder

A great deal of our success at Topcoder can be attributed to strong company culture, and as CEO, building this culture is always top of mind. When Topcoder, now the world’s largest workforce marketplace for digital innovation, launched in 2001, we quickly realized culture was just as important to our success as our business plan. Our culture comes from two simple steps: focusing on open communication and celebrating success to foster a positive work environment.

Have you ever grabbed a coffee with a friend and listened to her rave about her colleagues, and then wondered what you would say when she asks you how things are going with your job? Ever looked around your own organization and wondered why some teams work so well together when yours seems to struggle every day? Good teams don’t just happen by accident. Great teams share a set of identifiable and replicable traits and characteristics. On the most effective teams, people are loyal to one another, the team, and the larger organization. People share information, resources and a commitment to put the team agenda ahead of any individual agenda. These are called “Loyalist Teams.”

For executives, directors, and anyone who leads a team, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that no matter how dysfunctional your team is today, there is hope. Any team can become an extraordinary team.

And the bad news? If your team is dysfunctional, it’s no secret. And the more senior the team the more visible the dysfunction, and the greater the impact throughout the whole organization.
