Work with us
Do you dream of an organisation with empowering leaders, self-sufficient teams and a culture of openness and trust?
Helping organisations shift
Over the last twenty years of collaborating with organisations across different sectors around the world, we have learned from experience what contributes to sustainable shifts. We talk about this in terms of apps and Operating System (OS)…
Apps
Structures and processes
How we organise including:
Change initiatives
Agile ways of working
Coaching
Feedback
Self-managing teams, etc.
Operating System (OS)
Our mindset
Our way of being
+ some core abilities
If we don’t also upgrade the OS - how we are being when we are doing things - we will not get the results that we want from our apps.
So, we believe that if you want to create a culture of psychological safety and high-performing teams, two key things are needed:
Leaders who are confident and competent in a totally different kind of leadership (an adult-to-adult, empowering leadership)
Teams that are able to maintain their own working climate and navigate conflicts through straightforward communication, openness, and trust
Tuff is a specialist in supporting organisations to develop these two factors.

Edwin Jansen is Head of Marketing at Fitzii which is a hiring platform for small and medium businesses based in Canada. Every February for the last four years, Fitzii has celebrated what they call “Valenteal’s Day”, as it marks the anniversary of when they decided to become a teal, self-managing organisation.
Three approaches to exploring new ways of working
Lately I have been thinking about trainings off-site (classroom) versus development on the job (cf. 70-20-10). An old metaphor that might be useful is that companies and organisations are exploring so many new ways of working, for example open-plan office spaces (for better collaboration), Agile teams, lean and all the way to self-management.
