Well written。 It has excellent stories and anecdotes that prove what makes me people successful。

In general， the content is good and it is especially useful for classical managers trying to become servant leaders。 Unfortunately， the stories are long-winded。 The author spends 80% of the book on convincing the reader in his ideas and only 20% on actually crystalizing them。 You can get most of the value by reading the last chapters from each part of the book。

This was a great book full of interesting insights and examples on how to apply them。 I learned a few things to take away and apply in my current environment。 I liked the stories about Popovich and how he runs his teams， most interesting was the one about taking a time out and then letting the players figure out themselves what they needed to do better and then he would confirm in the last few seconds。 Highly recommend this as there is something in here for everyone。

Good book to read for general knowledge on how to communicate better and work in a team。 This entails any sort of “team” not just work teams。 Not a bookshelf book but definitely a good one time read to take note from， which I implement still today in my life when trying to optimize personal relations。 The book explains social psychology behind interpersonal relations and gives real life examples to make the points clearer。

Read for my work book club。 Great work - perfect for a book club at work。 Structured to focus on key concepts with many practical ideas to incorporate。 I’ve worked at a few companies with great cultures and I could easily pick out tools they used - just what it was about them。

Simple read。 Key takeaways: 1。 Need to issue belonging clues - individuals need to see energy， know that they're being valued， and signals that this relationship will continue。 This is also why water cooler locations are so important: they are an opportunity to build rapport with other team members。 Overcommunicating is always better than under communicating。 Asking individuals questions about themselves （e。g。 what they hope to achieve） can increase retention more than just telling them what you Simple read。 Key takeaways: 1。 Need to issue belonging clues - individuals need to see energy， know that they're being valued， and signals that this relationship will continue。 This is also why water cooler locations are so important: they are an opportunity to build rapport with other team members。 Overcommunicating is always better than under communicating。 Asking individuals questions about themselves （e。g。 what they hope to achieve） can increase retention more than just telling them what you want them to do。 2。 Vulnerability loops to build cooperation- for individuals to share what they're afraid of / more about themselves。 Esp important for CEOs to bond with their employees3。 Establish purpose - Other stuff such as company slang/ company values printed on the walls can indicate the sense of culture and belonging。 //- This book left me with many questions。 Too many case examples which aren't elaborated on enough。 --> "Be Painstaking in the Hiring Process:。。。 Some groups， like Zappos， have added an extra layer of belonging cues: after training is complete， they offer trainees a $2，000 bonus if they quit （about 10 percent of trainees accept the offer" - Phrased weirdly。 This is to provide an incentive for unhappy employees to quit so they can maintain a happy workforce; also important as employees can really influence each other's moods so having a Bad Seed can lead to negative consequences。 - Found the case examples too focused on workplaces where there is a lot of physical proximity: SEALS， pilots etc。 Don't think many places could apply life and death situations from these careers to build trust。 In addition， with the whole covid situation， it is inevitable that this book feels rather dated。 Would be interested to understand how working cultures can thrive under this "New Way of Working" / "New Normal" （flexiworking / connecting via video calls only etc。） 。。。more

One of the best books about culture and group interactions。 The author is fabulous in the research， the examples and the writing。 A must read for everyone leading small or big groups to make them better， and to make you better。

What a great leadership book should do is remind you of the important things about great leadership。 This book does that。

Fantastic book and Daniel takes many and various organizations and milks the truth of their success and this book is the final outcome of all this work。 His observations and musings make this a most compelling and a must read for any leader of any organization。 To not read this is to deprive yourself of insights that will affect every facet and every aspect of your life， personal， business and everything in between！

Great book with many examples of high-performing groups。 I particularly liked the examples of sports teams the most because I could relate to them personally。 But there are many great stories that make it easy to understand the main point of the book。

Several counter-intuitive insights into what makes the best groups work。 The chapters are well broken down， with examples from across the professional spectrum。 For example， focusing on the feeling of security and connection instead of chasing the bottom line。 Culture can only be made in training and normal times。 Crisis will only show what culture your organization has， not improve it。 The best way for an organization to function is for everyone to buy into the culture from lowest to highest le Several counter-intuitive insights into what makes the best groups work。 The chapters are well broken down， with examples from across the professional spectrum。 For example， focusing on the feeling of security and connection instead of chasing the bottom line。 Culture can only be made in training and normal times。 Crisis will only show what culture your organization has， not improve it。 The best way for an organization to function is for everyone to buy into the culture from lowest to highest levels。 This will allow everyone to contribute best to the overall goals of the company in the best way they can， which frees up leaders to look ahead to the future。 。。。more

This was an eye opening view on culture， and systems of behaviour。 It has definitely helped refine the way I manage people at work but also in my personal relationships。 As well， looking for healthy markers of culture in all types of organizations can be useful not only in investing but also when dealing with governments and organizations who can impact our lives。

After reading The Talent Code which didn't impress me a lot I got quite pleasantly surprised by The Culture Code。 In The Culture Code， Coyle tries to deconstruct what makes great teams great。 And I think to a large degree Coyle succeeded in doing so。In a pretty run-of-the-mill book with research and studies that are then fleshed out with anecdotes， it's a quite enjoyable read。 Concepts such as psychological safety are covered and multiple studies that show how vulnerability causes people to work After reading The Talent Code which didn't impress me a lot I got quite pleasantly surprised by The Culture Code。 In The Culture Code， Coyle tries to deconstruct what makes great teams great。 And I think to a large degree Coyle succeeded in doing so。In a pretty run-of-the-mill book with research and studies that are then fleshed out with anecdotes， it's a quite enjoyable read。 Concepts such as psychological safety are covered and multiple studies that show how vulnerability causes people to work together better are not just mentioned but made alive through the anecdotes and examples from the real world。 Whereas The Talent Code felt a bit research light， in this book Coyle seems to have found the studies that back up his points。 There was a bit that I learned but of course also a lot of things that I already knew but in a book like this， it'll always contain a lot of "common knowledge" or concepts that perhaps are known somewhat。 I did appreciate Coyle putting some structure to all of it。 。。。more

Yes it’s one of those books。 But it’s better than most。 THE CULTURE CODE is a perfect example of a common type of business book: Lots of examples of successful organizations， told as compelling stories in which vision triumphs over initial adversity。 Plenty of origin stories， chiefly related as the hero’s journey of an unlikely protagonist or the lucky confluence of unexpected realizations and a handful of core beliefs。 A peppy litany of core beliefs that characterize good company cultures。 I ha Yes it’s one of those books。 But it’s better than most。 THE CULTURE CODE is a perfect example of a common type of business book: Lots of examples of successful organizations， told as compelling stories in which vision triumphs over initial adversity。 Plenty of origin stories， chiefly related as the hero’s journey of an unlikely protagonist or the lucky confluence of unexpected realizations and a handful of core beliefs。 A peppy litany of core beliefs that characterize good company cultures。 I have direct experience with number of organizational cultures， and I’ve also lived long enough to see evolution at work。 I’ve learned two important things: First， the shiny， powerful story is almost always fundamentally untrue， and relies on an outsider how-to-book writer’s faith in the rewards of doing things right。 Second， just because a particular practice is integral to a group’s self image， that doesn’t mean it’s responsible for the group’s success。 For every company that breaks out big time， there are dozens if not hundreds using the exact same methods， the vast majority of which fail catastrophically。That said， this particular genre-example is better than most， for two reasons: it’s way better written than most， and it articulates some subtle factors that， in my experience， lead to productive， creative cultures where people belong， feel safe， work hard， and learn from their mistakes。 。。。more

A lot of truly great information in here that will take a lot of time to unpack。 Plus a re-read VERY soon， taking notes。 But probably the biggest initial revelation for me is that the culture of any group or organization is truly reflective of the leader of the group。 I'm honestly not sure why that was a revelation for me， but it truly was。 As someone essentially restarting a group after an 18-month hiatus due to a global pandemic， this was the perfect book for me at the perfect time。 A lot of truly great information in here that will take a lot of time to unpack。 Plus a re-read VERY soon， taking notes。 But probably the biggest initial revelation for me is that the culture of any group or organization is truly reflective of the leader of the group。 I'm honestly not sure why that was a revelation for me， but it truly was。 As someone essentially restarting a group after an 18-month hiatus due to a global pandemic， this was the perfect book for me at the perfect time。 。。。more

Honestly， one of the best business books I’ve ever read。Comprehensible， clear， compelling。 I’ve already recommended it to a free people。 Giving it 4 not 5 stars because I became a bit annoyed by the lack of female experts。 It was a 99% male story。

A good book analyzing the DNA of successful groups。 It helped me better understand why certain groups are better at working together than others。 It also gave me a bit more the awareness on little acts we do or don’t do when interacting within groups。
