About this listen

The ultimate handbook for fostering and cultivating a strong team culture, from the New York Times best-selling author of The Culture Code and The Talent Code.

Building a team has never been harder than it is right now. How do you create connection and trust? How do you stay focused on your goals?

In his years studying the ways successful groups work together, Daniel Coyle has spent time with elite teams around the world, observing the ways they support each other, manage conflict, and move toward a common goal. In The Culture Playbook, he distills everything he has learned into sixty concrete, actionable tips and exercises that will help your team build a cohesive, positive culture. Great cultures, Coyle has found, are built on three essential skills: safety, vulnerability, and purpose. Within this framework, he shows us how we can better serve our teammates, ourselves, and our shared purpose, including:

  • scheduling regular team “tune-ups” to place an explicit spotlight on the team’s inner workings and create conversations that surface and improve team dynamics
  • creating spaces for remote coworkers to connect with their colleagues to foster a team spirit even across distances
  • holding an anxiety party to serve as a pressure-relief valve, as well as a platform for people to connect and solve problems together

With reflections, exercises, and practical tips that will prove invaluable to companies, athletes, and families alike, The Culture Playbook is an indispensable guide to ensuring that your team performs at its best.

Finally, real stuff for creating culture

Wow, this is the most information I have ever found in one place about creating good culture. Accolades to Daniel Coyle for sharing this indispensable compilation of information. The audio version was extremely well done, but I am going to buy the book too. So much good stuff to think about …and use. ENJOY!

Amazing Resource!

For those of us who think deeply about organizational culture, this book provides a robust set of possibilities and techniques to address each aspect of culture building. A compilation of grown-up, strategic activities, exercises, and practices means that we can shelve the trite and dated “team-building” games that produce eye roll and fail to move the culture needle.

Terrible book

The author shoves his views on “equity”, “racial inclusion”, and other leftist talking points down your throat. This is the last thing I’ll ever read/listen to by Daniel Coyle.

Absolute trash

Full to the brim with nothing.

I feel like I just got punched in the face with MSNBC talking points.

Critical Race Theory Lecture

Lost me at the “white guilt” part and how I should accept my internal racism and biases…no thanks.

Tip of the iceberg book

The playbook talks about some interesting thoughts but doesn’t invest into the reasons behind them. It’s like a menu without an instruction manual 😢
