Zone Culture Model
How does Zone Culture work?
It is not surprising that most organisations have selected a common set of values to help develop their culture. This is because, these are the most beneficial values that determine a successful culture for humans to perform at their peak, across all functions in the organisation.
Unfortunately, many organisations struggle to execute these common values
Universal Values
We have identified and listed below, universal values (universally desired human qualities) and a list of effects of failing to execute them throughout the day, at work (for each universal value).
Universal Value | Effects of Failing to Execute the Value |
---|---|
Belonging |
|
Caring |
|
Selflessness |
|
Trust |
|
Respect |
|
Equanimity |
|
Agility |
|
Visionary |
|
Creativity |
|
Optimism |
|
Gratitude |
|
Joy |
|
Most books on culture recommend that you have no more than five values.
Which of the above 12 values would you leave out? Would you not want to execute all of them?
The solution is to select one cornerstone value, which when lived, automatically executes all the other universal values.
This cornerstone value is ‘Being in the Zone’
Execute your Values
Zone Culture is all about successful execution!
For your people to execute your company’s universal values, they need to Get in the Zone.
The one cornerstone value – Being in the Zone, will automatically result in the execution of all universal values:
Belonging | Caring | Selflessness |
Trust | Respect | Equanimity |
Agility | Visionary | Creativity |
Optimism | Gratitude | Joy |
Being in the Zone facilitates the flow of your organisational values. Zone Champions spontaneously live these universal values through the day.
The Zone Culture model underpins the values, thoughts, behaviours and outcomes with the root cause – how you FEEL NOW.
When you feel good, the quality of your thinking is positive and powerful. When you feel bad, the quality of your thinking is negative and compromised.
As there are only two variables, feeling good (in the Zone) or feeling bad (in the Zoo), it is much more manageable than trying to manage the tens of thousands of thoughts flowing through your mind every day.

Peak Performance Model
To become a great leader and manager, you must first become a great human being.
When you understand how the Human Operating System (hOS) works at the core and gain mastery over this system, you will be able to spontaneously influence all leadership and management behaviour because this is a subset of being human.
Your Human Operating System will have undergone a much-needed upgrade from Human 1.0 Operating System (hOS 1.0) to Human Operating System 2.0 (hOS 2.0), which is so necessary if human beings are to become leaders instead of victims of this Fourth Industrial Revolution we are in.
Beyond traditional goal setting
It is particularly important to realise that life is not predictable. With the convergence of exponential technologies all accelerating at exponential rates, everything is changing extremely fast.
The key to success is not to create fixed plans, but to realise that flexibility, adaptability and agility is required. Creative, intuitive new ideas and solutions are needed to compete in this fast-moving marketplace.

When you are heading towards your goal life rarely takes you in a straight line
You need to stay in the Zone even when life does not go according to your plan.
When you are ‘In the Zone’ it is easy to do what you need to do, right here and now.
