The Culture Code

Outline

The Culture Code (2018) explores why some groups become more than the sum of their parts. Daniel Coyle visited successful teams in sports, the military, business, and the arts, and found three key skills: building safety so people feel they belong, sharing vulnerability to build trust, and establishing a clear sense of purpose. The book offers practical ideas for creating strong, cooperative cultures.
