Daniel Coyle’s “The Culture Code,” is a must read for anyone working with another human being in a work or volunteer setting. This book, without fanfare or overt jargon, talks succinctly about working in an organization with others and (usually) for others. It lays to rest some of the old adages of working in an office and instead creates new pathways for collaboration and success. With this book in your tool box, you will be equipped to work with and through others to realize your dreams — at any level in any company or organization.. You will never think about work or your colleagues the same way again after reading.

Leverage your culture code to succeed by telling your team: you belong, you are safe to speak here, and you have a purpose. The dynamic instruction and examples throughout THE CULTURE CODE by Daniel Coyle are prime tools for corporate, small business, and even family systems. This book is a manual for us all.

A useful insight into characteristics of successful groups in different fields with some interesting stories, and a great introduction if this is an area that's new to you. An entertaining read, but it could do with more balance.

The Culture Code offers valuable insights to highly functioning and highly successful collaborative teams. While Coyle's previous book highlights the achievements of individuals, this volume focuses and will appeal more to business leaders.

This is a great addition to my books for improving as an educator. Building culture is valuable to the classroom.

This has been on be TBR pile and I finally got around to it. Well. That's not entirely true.

I started this book 2 years ago. Got through the opening and 1.5 chapters and put it down. While some people may like the story rehashing -- most of which has already been documented, including the spaghetti + marshmallow experiment which I also participated in ~5 yrs ago and my then elementary school daughter did around the same time -- what I want to know is how to apply. I was disappointed at the lack of "toolkit" as billed in the summary.

Picking up this book again years later, I went at it and often got fed up with the dramatic story re-tellings (however, I realize not everyone is familiar with war-time Christmas camaraderie) again and jumped to Ideas for Action sections. Yet, there was no "tool" in the "toolkit." Just summarized tips to foster Safety, Vulnerability, Purpose that are almost as trite as the stories.

I was disappointed and not even entertained by the collection.

Detailed, sharp, interesting, illustrative, engaging
In the introduction the author makes clear to us the power of success and performance that occurs when people work in teams intelligently, in a synergy that is far beyond the sum of their parts: the group culture. These cultures are made up of a set of skills that are described in the book and exemplified with real-life cases.

I was very surprised at the detailed, sharp and clarifying discoveries and revelations for each skill and the profound impact that this understanding generates on group dynamics. The interesting thing is that the attributes we consider make us smarter and should provide a high performance team, our assumptions are wrong. Apparently in Daniel Coyle's research found that the power of the group is associated with more basic aspects, I would think that even instinctive, of body communication, feeling safely connected, belonging cues, high-purpose environments, shared vulnerability where cooperation and trust increase .

It also seems that the difference lies in the power of our unconscious that processes an immensity of information compared to our neocortex (rational brain), where our social brains light up: the limbic system and the amygdala, switches “a total reconfiguration of the entire motivational and decision-making system”.

The skill that generated deep interest in me was Vulnerability. One of the most illuminating chapters is where Dave Cooper mentions “Human nature is constantly working against us. You have to get around those barriers, and they never go away. ” Here it is clear to me that we usually avoid unpleasant moments and disagreements, we need to commit ourselves to explore this constant discomfort, and turn them into opportunities to build closeness and cooperation.

The author's narrative style, anecdotes, discoveries, everything is intertwined in a very engaging and interesting way. To obtain the wisdom jewels of this book, it is necessary to read it from beginning to end. By the way in the end, in the Notes, there are many references to expand each concept!

My sincere appreciation to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

I loved this book. Like so many people, I've had experience in bad cultures. The recommendations seemed like common sense and like they would have made all the difference in my situation.

I recommended it over and over. A couple of people I recommended it to we troubled by some coarse language that I didn't even notice. Aside from that, everyone should read this book even if the only culture you build is in your family.

This is a book that will show you how to make a difference. It is a management book, but has great lessons for all aspects of your life. Everyone is a leader in the right culture of an organization. I am so glad tat I had the opportunity to read this book!

As the newbie at your job, you slowly observe the company culture. From the interactions between staff members to the connection between staff and supervisor, success is a result in good vibes between everyone and how each individual is able to accomplish his or her own tasks.
The book The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle brings together the types of cultures in a wide range of companies. While some build a culture for safety, others share its vulnerabilities or establish its purpose. Each is successful in its own way and works towards its purpose.
Coyle lays out many company cultures describing each as if the reader is right there in the room. It's amazing to see how there is more than one "right" culture.

Personally, I have worked for many companies in my lifetime. Each culture seemed to be in this book. Some cultures are more successful than others in its particular niche or purpose.
This book was provided complimentary for an honest review.

For those managing teams, this is an absolute must read. I have been recommending it to my real estate coaching clients.

So many important and valuable lessons of leadership, creating culture, and longevity in the group.

Highly recommend this one.

I love psychology related books so I think I might be a bit biased when I say that I really liked the book. Apart from being well written, I loved what the book tried to convey about building communities. It did sometimes feel pop culture-y as do most Malcolm Gladwell books, but that just added an ease to reading the book. I recommend this book to anybody looking to read up a bit more about building communities and getting a glimpse into companies that are already doing so!

It took me while to read through this text, it was interesting and a learning experience. The concept Coyle shares in this format felt a bit like a textbook. It was rewarding but I would not readily recommend it to others because of how long it took me to get into the flow of things.

Primarily about and for businesses, the sections that deal with team-work and working in groups is applicable in any scenario, potentially even for useful for students working on small group projects.

This is a really engaging, inspiring, and helpful book about the often subtle or misunderstood behaviors that make a team successful.

This book is an absolute MUST have for anyone working! This book highlights the success and failures of business cultures. There is no better way to learn from other's mistakes without the cost! Beyond the business advice this book provides well-researched advice on how to deal with people and anyone can learn more about how better to deal with the people around them. I truly think this book is necessary reading for every adult. I'm adding it to my must have book list.

I recommend the book to anybody in management positions or people that have to work in groups or teams. It is actually engaging, with interesting anecdotes, and practical examples of applicable theories and ideas. It really made me think about team culture on a different level than I had before, which is saying a lot, because I spend a LOT of time thinking about team culture. There are definitely insights to be gained here, even for a seasoned manager.

Great insights for companies, large and small. I made lots of notes while read into share with my colleagues and one of them is reading it.

As a young business professional, I found this read very relatable. The culture that a group creates, for instance a company, is both crucial for its consumers and employees alike. I encourage anyone that is a part of a team, whether that be a sports team or a business team, to read this book in order to have a better understanding of how group culture can influence different things.

Company and team culture are hot topics in most businesses today. How do you build teams that work together to produce the greatest results? The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups explores just that question. Here’s a look.

Building highly successful teams takes work but it’s well worth the investment. In The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups, Daniel Coyle takes us inside numerous organizations that have built teams with a culture to succeed.

The US Navy SEAL Team Six, the San Antonio Spurs, Zappos, and many more are all examples of teams where culture has allowed connection and performance that far surpasses standard. The unique ways in which they connect their team members to bring out the best in each is explored in detail, but it seems every successful culture boils down to this:

Build Safety
Share Vulnerability
Establish Purpose

If you provide these three ingredients and nurture them, any organization can create a wonderfully successful culture.

By building safety, we can allow people to feel comfortable contributing without feeling their ideas or actions will be negatively judged. It allows people to give more and be more committed to the team.
Sharing vulnerability lets our guard down, shows our human side, and allows others to do the same too. By showing we’re all vulnerable, team members feel more open to share failures and everyone learns from from them.

When we establish a purpose it gives everyone an understanding of our goal and what we’re working towards.
Decoded

The impact culture has on organizations abilities to achieve beyond-standard levels of performance is now recognized. It’s why we see so many investing in culture, where it was largely ignored before.

The Culture Code gives real-world examples and easy to follow advice for anyone looking to build an excellent culture within their organization.
