What is your book about?
Having a positive, interactive corporate culture is something that many leaders strive for. Getting there (and staying there) isn’t just about feel-good policies or Ping-Pong-table incentive tactics. The power of a good culture is something to behold, and the cost of not creating one may be more significant than organizations realize. This book is a guide to figuring out what works for companies in real life, and how to chuck out what doesn’t, to bring people into the fold and support cultural growth, all the way to the top.
Topics include:
- The power (and costs) of culture
- The key ingredients of a good culture: purpose, culture code and essential action
- How to nudge, kickstart and embed your culture towards Good
- Measuring culture
