Publisher's Summary

What do Pixar, Google and the San Antonio Spurs basketball team have in common? The answer is that they all owe their extraordinary success to their team-building skills.

In The Culture Code, Daniel Coyle, New York Times best-selling author of The Talent Code, goes inside some of the most effective organisations in the world and reveals their secrets. He not only explains what makes such groups tick but also identifies the key factors that can generate team cohesion in any walk of life. He examines the verbal and physical cues that bring people together. He determines specific strategies that encourage collaboration and build trust. And he offers cautionary tales of toxic cultures and advises how to reform them, above all demonstrating the extraordinary achievements that result when we know how to cooperate effectively.  

Combining cutting-edge science, on-the-ground insight and practical ideas for action, The Culture Code is a groundbreaking exploration of how the best groups operate that will change the way we think and work together.

Surfaces great insights into successful teams

This book unpacks the critical elements of sustained high performance, using examples of businesses and teams that have had 10+ years at the top of their respective fields. Reinforces key aspects such as trust and vulnerability and the importance of psychological safety, supported by some practical actions that leaders can take to optimise their organisation’s culture. Have started listening again to try to consolidate and consider ways to apply in my own org.

Eye opening

First audible book and what a book to jump into. The story and message was powerful. I found the voices very engaging to listen in with, drawing clearer pictures in the mind of who is was who.
Thank you

Brilliant

I've read organisational culture texts far and wide and this is one of the best ones out there. Thoroughly recommend it for anyone wanting to grow their organisations or team culture in any capacity.
Will be listening to several times again to immerse myself in the concepts in this book.

5 times longer than needed

If you missed the point the first time its given, don't worry; you have 10 more examples to get it 😅

Secondly, as with all books, the lack of disputation capacity leaves me wondering to what extent this was all correct.

Don't regret the listen though; provokes thoughts and suggests patterns that are properly worth adopting.

Motive to be different

For anyone who wants to know more about team dynamics, this will help provide some conceptual and concrete approaches to enhance team culture and performance. An interesting listen and leaves me wanting to apply things now.

Really enjoyed this book

This book contained a lot of information on various aspects of group culture - what makes group dynamics work & what's missing when poor culture reigns. Some really good strategies to consider for individuals, managers & teams.
