PMI-SAC Book Club – April: The Culture Code

April 13 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm MDT

Free
Our next PMI-SAC Book Club will be looking at The Cutlure Code (The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups) by Daniel Coyle. Join us!

The book for the April 13 session is The Culture Code (The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups) by Daniel Coyle

Description:

Where does great culture come from? How do you build and sustain it in your group, or strengthen a culture that needs fixing?

In The Culture Code, Daniel Coyle goes inside some of the world’s most successful organizationsβ€”including the U.S. Navy’s SEAL Team Six, IDEO, and the San Antonio Spursβ€”and reveals what makes them tick. He 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. Drawing on examples that range from Internet retailer Zappos to the comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade to a daring gang of jewel thieves, Coyle offers specific strategies that trigger learning, spark collaboration, build trust, and drive positive change. Coyle unearths helpful stories of failure that illustrate what not to do, troubleshoots common pitfalls, and shares advice about reforming a toxic culture. 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.

Culture is not something you areβ€”it’s something you do. The Culture Code puts the power in your hands. No matter the size of your group or your goal, this book can teach you the principles of cultural chemistry that transform individuals into teams that can accomplish amazing things together.
