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.

Third time listening. many good points and quotes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I listened to it three times, and keep writing down, googling and adding notes to how I want to shape my culture where I am.

I aspire to follow what I've learnt here.

Awesome Listen

Loved the story so much that I went out to by the book to reference back. Awesome how he doesn't only look at high performing business teams, but all high performers.

How I wish I had read this book earlier...

I wish I had read this book earlier in my career. It is shocking how I can identify with the examples provided. Seeing how bad culture negatively effects talented teams and good culture can make an otherwise unremarkable team remarkable.

Ideas that you would never have imagined coming out if teams that you least expected. Culture and belonging are crucial to creativity, and in my opinion, running a successful team.

This is very well written and researched book with compelling interviews from some of the best cultural hackers of our age.

Insightful and Practical

Insightful findings. Well written and performed, practical and often summarising the obvious. Thanks, great work!

Great content, boring narrator

The content is really great! I wish they would have used a different narrator though

Great content awkwardly delivered.

I ended up buying the book on Kondle because I really think it’s useful to have access to keep coming back to. But the whole production was flawed while the narrator insisted on employing voices for the characters the author had worked with in the research it was uncomfortable and a needless distraction from the content.

Highly Informative

The content is read with variety and draws the listener in. Very relevant and actionable.

Loved it.

Definitely worth reading, well written, well read and has practical application for use within business

easy reading

found it fun and easy to listen to. very broad subject with a 'tit for tat' story contrasts, which may also unfortunately be seen as 'correlation rather than causation' in some cases. very good performance!

Not impressed

Yes, culture trump everything else, the stories seems ok but the narration made it a bit boring for me. The audio book is a bit lengthy though.
