Leadership through the working logic of human towers

Pinyacle uses castells, Catalan human towers, to explore how a team shares load, communicates and decides under pressure. The experience sits within a wider process: agree what to observe, work together and turn the experience into specific changes in the organisation.

Before: agree what the team is carrying

We choose a situation the team recognises: a reorganisation, changing priorities or decisions that always land on the same desk. We agree which signals to observe. The starting point is a question that matters and can be revisited, rather than a sweeping diagnosis.

During: observe how support works

Roles, coordination and responses to uncertainty become material for discussion. Facilitation separates observation from interpretation. A short experience cannot label people or establish how an entire organisation works. It can reveal a useful question worth testing in the workplace.

After: return to the work

The output is a shared load map and follow-up agreements: what changes, who takes responsibility and when the team reviews it. The four values —força · equilibri · valor · seny— provide working questions. This is our applied interpretation, not a scientifically validated assessment instrument.

A tradition with its own context

UNESCO inscribed human towers in 2010. IESE Insight has explored their leadership and teamwork. These sources provide cultural and organisational context; neither constitutes an endorsement of or partnership with Pinyacle.
