The Inside Job™
Build a workplace people love.
Nail culture as a strategic advantage, and revolutionize how your company rolls.
Do you ever feel like you solve one people problem at work - only to have something else pop up?
It’s easy to feel like you’re running around all day patching holes, only to have new ones spring up tomorrow. This running-around-like-a-chicken-with-its-head-cut-off style of leadership is relentless and exhausting. We call it Heroic Leadership, and it has been taught to most of us for the past 100+ years.
Don't be a Heroic Leader.
The central problem with Heroic Leadership is that it puts leaders in a place of scarcity, urgency, and rugged individualism that limits them from seeing the big picture.
Good People Leaders are like good doctors.
They look for what might be going on behind the scenes. There’s one system that underlies each and every one of your organization systems: CULTURE.
Culture is the water we swim in. It’s how we do things in an organization. Even if you’ve never thought about it before, culture exists in your organization. Driving the right culture is like the healing path the good doctor prescribes: you can’t just pop a pill – you have to put in the work.
None of us want a toxic culture.
So who are the bad apples running these “toxic” companies? Here’s the bad news: they might be everyday leaders like you and me. No business owners or leaders that I have worked with intend to build a toxic culture. But let’s face it, running an organization is tricky and leaders face endless competing demands. Even the best leaders out there can unwittingly fail to build cultural health. It is, after all, invisible.
Maybe you face some of these chronic issues:
- Employee morale is low and/or engagement scores are dropping or in the basement.
- Virtual/hybrid work is eroding the feeling of team, community, and “one” company.
- The open jobs at your company persist, you’ve been ghosted by candidates, and employees already working for you are increasingly overwhelmed.
- Your leadership team struggles to consistently act in alignment with our organization’s values.
- You and others lose energy from dealing with chronic complaining, gossip, and whining.
- You’re stuck wrestling with trying to hold accountability for performance and also being a compassionate leader.
- Your organization’s values are not often or easily observed in action.
- You lack people processes that support your desire for performance, hiring, and growth.
You might already know what to avoid, but what should you aim for? As a leader, it can be challenging to know how to measure and manage culture. So it often feels like a nebulous buzzword.
Get the tools you need.
We have helped hundreds of organizations just like yours leverage culture to make their wildest dreams for success come true. Culture transformation is not rocket science, which doesn’t mean it is easy.
What it takes is dedicated focus, transparent dialogue, five key pillars, and sustainable tracking methods. At Moementum, Inc., we have helped hundreds of companies make that ambiguous and invisible thing we call organizational culture their most impactful business lever for growth, change, employee thriving, and results.
After decades of studying and changing culture in hundreds of organizations we’ve streamlined our process into a four-month journey.
We call it The Inside Job™ because culture begins and ends in the beliefs and assumptions that live and breathe within an organization. We have to do the work within to get the benefits of cultural health.
Our Five Pillars:
- A Clear Purpose
- Aligned, Transparent Leaders
- Behaviorally Grounded Values
- A People Philosophy
- A Defined Culture

We provide the templates, scripts, samples, and processes to build one that is lovingly yours to share forever.
Culture Sustainability Plan
Culture is how we do things hear and it is a living, breathing dimension of every workplace. It requires regular care and feeding, and in the Inside Job™, we leave you with a roadmap for ongoing activities to consistently breathe life into your unique and living organizational culture.

The Guide: About Moe
A Personal Invitation from Moe Carrick, Author, Speaker, and Founder/CEO of Moementum, Inc.
I cut my teeth on group work back in the 1980’s using adventure as a catalyst for business transformation. I was an early innovator of designed experiences for culture change with Project Adventure, Inc. and a contributor to the seminal textbook for practitioners and clients seeking transformation, Adventure in Business, An I.M.M.E.R.S.I.O.N Approach to Training and Development. Much of our work then focused on team health and leadership development, both potent levers for results, with organizations like BMW, Kodak, Silversea Cruises, Los Angeles Unified School District, Seattle Children’s Hospital and so many more. In those days, I became obsessed with what differentiates one organization that lasts from one that fizzes out. Check out the story of one company I worked with in Fast Company Magazine for a history lesson.
Over the years, I noticed that the difference between “phenomenal” and “meh” was all about the soft underbelly of business metrics—people and culture. We knew then what we know now—people make companies great—but most organizations lacked the tools needed to meaningfully build a workplace that fully activates the talents of their people for success.
Since then, I have watched organization after organization struggle and sometimes fail due to the messy, imperfect dynamics of organizational culture. And I have seen some completely kick-it and leverage culture as foundational to their customer loyalty, their employee retention, and their lasting profitability.
When that happens, it benefits the people who work there, the company, the communities they serve, and the world.
At Moementum, my team and I have the chops to uniquely help you with our tried and true methods, reliable tools, and expert facilitation.
The Inside Job™ takes everything I have learned, detailed in my three best-selling books on the topic of culture, and organizes it into a practical, straightforward, and transformative 4 month process that helps you make culture change your secret weapon.
