NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG AND LIBRARY JOURNAL
From Amazon review: “Where does great culture come from? How do you build and sustain it in your group, or strengthen a culture that needs fixing?…Daniel Coyne…demystifies the culture-building process by identifying three key skills that generate cohesion and cooperation, and explains how diverse groups learn to function with a single mind…. [He] offers specific strategies that trigger learning, spark collaboration, build trust, and drive positive change. …Combining leading-edge science, on-the-ground insights from world-class leaders, and practical ideas for action, The Culture Code offers a roadmap for creating an environment where innovation flourishes, problems get solved, and expectations are exceeded.”
LGH reviewer Gioia Zack says, “This book explains that you can have the best, most qualified people and you can have the best, revolutionary ideas; however, if you do not have the environment or culture that allows the two to come together, pursue a clear, common goal, and work together in a smarter way, nothing will flourish. His culture-building process…. is for any person or group that may feel true potential is not being met and wants to open themselves to possibilities.”
