Startup Culture Memes: Do You Have A Duck Of Awesomeness?

Have you noticed how as people spend time together they develop certain attitudes and practices unique to them? That’s culture.

"The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group" – Culture defined at wikipedia

Working environments force people to spend a lot of time closely interacting with each other and startups even more so! This close interaction leads to the emergence of culture.

In my eyes there are two ways of identifying the emergence of culture within your business. Behaviour and language.

I’m no linguistic scholar but I believe the two are very closely related. Behaviour affects language and language affects behaviour. A feedback loop that is constantly molding the culture within your business.
