​

At Rubrum and Gold, we see a normalization of democratic attitudes in the business world, coupled with a heightened sense of uncertainty in an increasingly dynamic economy. We believe there are two vectors we can look to in workplaces to orient ourselves in this climate. Our name highlights our integrative approach to these mutually supportive goals. Gold, for millennia, has represented wealth and financial well-being: the primary goal of businesses. Rubrum, with etymological roots to "ruby" and "rubric," signifies a second treasure and standard: that of relational well-being. While historically underemphasized, we believe it is time to ride the culture shifts we are now experiencing towards heightened relational standards in workplace environments. 

 

We provide the tools and methods to do this. In the final say, there is no right or wrong way to structure a thriving workplace culture. The standard lies in your purpose and mission, and the degree to which you skillfully navigate the interrelated values of efficacy and well-being as a leader and team member. Still, there are frameworks and skillsets available to us to meet these concerns. By focusing on relationship intelligence, our approach emphasizes creating social and organizational literacy across apparent divides in workplaces. In taking precious time to develop this literacy, we find that teams can become synchronized and empowered in a way that was never possible before.
