Slave to the Rhythm: a rhythm is made together

In our previous blog "Everything has a Rhythm", we explained that rhythm is inherently important for people. That it gives us overview and that it provides relaxation and self-confidence.

Serving company rhythm

No micromanagement

So a clear business rhythm is not a rigid work culture. We need to be able to deal with change and unforeseen circumstances, where employees can bring in their own skills, creativity and ideas (especially then). It's about finding the right balance between structure and flexibility.
