IS IT ME?
A handbook for Alignment, Cohesion, Collaboration, Purpose, Impact & Performance
Why do some activities light us up while others shut us down?
Why do we clash with some colleagues even when we agree?
Why does motivation sometimes vanish for no reason?
‘IS IT ME?’ reveals an unconscious bias that shapes how we think, feel and act.
What Is Culture OS?
CULTURE OS provides structured consulting and workshop interventions that reshape how teams think, communicate and operate together.
It strengthens culture by addressing the causes: cognitive bias, motivation, and interpersonal needs.
Systemic Causes
Systemic conditions that create division (schismogenesis) leading to cultural decay, team dysfunction, and poor performance.
Unhealthy Competition
Caused by a focus on narrow extrinsic motivations
Polarised Opinion
Caused by differences in extrinsic motivations
Quiet Quitting
Caused by a loss of extrinsic motivations
Behavioral Insights
At the core of CULTURE OS is the TEMPERAMENTS framework, which surfaces
- Intrinsic Motives
- Leadership Priorities
- Core Strengths
- Behavioural Traits
- Potential Clashes
- Defensiveness
The TEMPERAMENTS diagnostic makes behavioural patterns visible, measurable and actionable.
Cognitive Bias
TEMPERAMENTS reveals how individuals naturally prioritise three different forms of intelligence:
• Rational evaluation
• Emotional intelligence
• Contextual awareness
Misalignment between these biases erodes cohesion.
Outcomes
Understanding biases, strengths and behaviours strengthens:
- Alignment
- Cohesion
- Collaboration
- Purpose
- Impact
- Performance
