    About this audiobook

    The New York Times bestselling author of The Talent Code unlocks the secrets of highly successful groups and provides tomorrow's leaders with the tools to build a cohesive, motivated culture.

    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 organizations—including the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six, IDEO, and the San Antonio Spurs—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 are—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.

      What makes a team stand out compared to another team facing the same challenge? In The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups, Daniel Coyle who previously wrote The Talent Code, reveals some of the secrets he found in literature, backed up by dozens of examples from U.S. Navy, corporations, and sports. Think of Zappos, SEAL Team Six, Meyer's Restaurants, Johnson & Johnson, or the San Antonio Spurs. Behavioral sciences, like sociology and psychology, now for decades stress the importance of belonging, vulnerability, trust, motivation, and leadership. These elements are extensively elaborated in The Culture Code. Focus is on the practical side. Don't expect visuals for visioning, slogans for a mission or strategy. It's up to you and your group to practice the lessons in this book and create cultural chemistry of the sum of individuals being replaced by synergy.

      Rarely does a "business" book tug on my heart strings, have more than one new conceptual tool, and get me spreading little bits around wherever I go. Usually the books that do that are more academic, and I probably would not have even picked this up were it in print. But the library had the audiobook and I am now thinking I need to augment the bits of insight I have scrawled in my planner with flipping through some summaries and so forth.

      Mr. Coyle does a great job with this book. Everyone from normal people living their daily lives like me to management and Jeff Bezos can find something useful in this book. In fact, Mr. Bezos would probably outline many of the steps and advice in this book as to how he built Amazon to the successful empire that it is today and still growing. As I was reading this book I could see practical ways that my employer could apply these principles better; especially in meetings and coming together for a common goal. Now is the best time as there are many projects starting. The book starts out with an experiment involving business students, kindergartners, lawyers, and CEOs. Every time the kindergartners won. This is because they did no worry about who was the leader but worked energetically together with short communications to achieve the goal. This is just one of the examples of a successful group. Not to say that no leader is better but working together with clear communication is key. Also, having really good employees that can be trained is worth a lot. Mr. Coyle showcases a different business like Pixar, Goggle, Navy Seals, and San Antonio Spurs to name a few. He shows what has made them successful and then breaks it down into easy and understandably analysis. My favorite one was reading about the San Antonio Spurs and Mr. Popovich. Mr. Popovich knew all of his players on a personal level. He bonded with them not through yelling or texts but with human interaction. He knows this is the best way to build a strong team. After reading this book, I have a respect for Mr. Popovich. The Culture Code is a wonderful book that is not to be missed.

      Excelente libro. Me encanta como, a través de historias, Daniel Coyle va develando la forma en la que varios grupos crean un código de cultura. Recomendado al 100%

      One of the best books on this subject I’ve read! Superb.
    • 5/5
      Great book. Drew examples of various companies, supported arguments with scientific examples or parallels and psychological research.
    • 4/5
      This audio book gives obvious information, yet easily forgotten. For instance, having desks at a particular setting confugured side by side readily improves creativity in a group.
    • 4/5
      This book emphasizes the importance of fostering a collaborative and open environment so that teams perform well and thrive. I think it pairs well with Patrick Lencioni's book Five Dysfunctions of a Team, as a sort of a preliminary to reading that book. Interesting stories about the US Navy Seals (how they prepared to take out Bin Laden) and Pixar. Also distinguishes between fostering skills of proficiency and fostering skills of creativity.

      Great read, gives a deep idea of behavior of successful groups. Was quite on time for the growth of our company.
    • 5/5
      This book opens a door to a world of interconnection and community. I highly recommend it
    • 5/5
      Coyle provides many examples of real world groups and how the environments they create for themselves and beliefs they hold help foster success beyond what one would expect by merely examining the members of the group individually.
    • 4/5
      Not bad, but not as impactful as The Talent Code or The Little Book of Talent.
    • 5/5
      After being properly introduced to how culture can shape teams and groups I can truly say this has been one of my favorite business books. after listening to the audiobook, I went out and bought a hard copy. It has further inspired my research of proper culture in a workplace and it will be a book I keep close to me through the years. Highly recomend
    • 5/5
      Very insightful...I can’t wait to put into practice a few key principles needed in my group
    • 5/5
      great book to improve your leadership. It not only talks about what are the elements of successful teqms but qlso guides you through ideas for implementation
    • 3/5
      Although this book contains some useful information on "the secret of highly successful groups", its content doesn't really warrant for 250 pages. Perhaps 125 would have been plenty, as most of the book relates anecdotal stories to support the few action points handily listed at the end of each part.

      In all good and useful content, well researched, but wrapped in too much unnecessary story.
    • 5/5
      Amazing book! Full of great stories which show you how to transform your workplace or organization into a success. One of the best books I’ve read on the subject!
    • 4/5
      A great read. Like any good book, the book has a great point, how to build great teams, and focuses on that. There are some direct learnings and takeaways that you can apply immediately. I'd highly recommend this book.

      A lovely telling of how successful groups organize! Recommend to any leader whether it's family, friends, or workplace. Great examples given with precise philosophies
