Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC!

This was one of those books that grew on me more and more the longer I sat with the ideas and reread certain passages. I think culture is one of those vital aspects to so many parts of life, but is often overlooked in any purposeful effort. It's easy to work on creating other tangible things, but culture - either good or bad - has a much bigger potential to influence so many other areas of business or life or any group of people really. Will continue to return to this one.

I love the approach the author takes in defining culture- that it is a process, it is not a construction project-and most of the time in the places I have worked, there'd always been talk of 'work culture,' and 'organizational culture,' and it did not create room for employees to speak their minds, contribute freely and enthusiastically to building the organization. In this book the author discusses: how an organization’s culture affects performance, the six traits of successful “culture farmers” (i.e., leaders), the seven “seeds” that will grow into a culture of commitment, and how leaders should cultivate those seeds throughout their life cycle.

Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
