Publisher's Summary
What do Pixar, Google and the San Antonio Spurs basketball team have in common? The answer is that they all owe their extraordinary success to their team-building skills.
In The Culture Code, Daniel Coyle, New York Times best-selling author of The Talent Code, goes inside some of the most effective organisations in the world and reveals their secrets. He not only explains what makes such groups tick but also identifies the key factors that can generate team cohesion in any walk of life. He examines the verbal and physical cues that bring people together. He determines specific strategies that encourage collaboration and build trust. And he offers cautionary tales of toxic cultures and advises how to reform them, above all demonstrating the extraordinary achievements that result when we know how to cooperate effectively.
Combining cutting-edge science, on-the-ground insight and practical ideas for action, The Culture Code is a groundbreaking exploration of how the best groups operate that will change the way we think and work together.

Research about this book before reading it
Before writing my review - I closely observed several organizational cultures in India and abroad. The high performance of a team beyond its barriers always depends on the organizational culture. The managers who feed the day's work to their team daily can eventually get poor output. On the other hand, a manager who trusts their team will get excellent results. Such managers put you under a greater responsibility than pushing a greater workload.
A decade and a half ago, I attended an interview for a senior management position in the finance department. The person who interviewed me just trusted my profile, education, experience, and skills. He concluded the interview very positively without much inquisitive. That attitude made me more responsible for the roles I played there.
When we come to this book - people perform high in positive cultural groups. One badass in a fit group may pull down the entire group, especially in sports, war, or robbery.
It is an onus on the people at the helm to fill the positivity among the groups. They must observe when a mistake occurs, whether the member or the group is gaining the energy to tackle it better or losing the energy and spoiling further.
The concepts shared in this book are empirical and beyond a first-time reader's understanding of such themes. Nonetheless, this book received accolades from various aspects of business circles.
Be prepared to read it. Before reading this book, research it on YouTube and Google to better understand it.

Central idea behind book is super important and super small
The central idea behind this book is super important and super small. This real actionable insights are very minor although should be powerful. The rest of book is, well a bunch of stories reinforcing the same small but super important idea. Perhaps the author could have done more to expand on actionable insights, I would still recommend this book though.

found it fun and easy to listen to. very broad subject with a 'tit for tat' story contrasts, which may also unfortunately be seen as 'correlation rather than causation' in some cases. very good performance!

Third time listening. many good points and quotes.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
I listened to it three times, and keep writing down, googling and adding notes to how I want to shape my culture where I am.
I aspire to follow what I've learnt here.

Great content awkwardly delivered.
I ended up buying the book on Kondle because I really think it’s useful to have access to keep coming back to. But the whole production was flawed while the narrator insisted on employing voices for the characters the author had worked with in the research it was uncomfortable and a needless distraction from the content.

How I wish I had read this book earlier...
I wish I had read this book earlier in my career. It is shocking how I can identify with the examples provided. Seeing how bad culture negatively effects talented teams and good culture can make an otherwise unremarkable team remarkable.
Ideas that you would never have imagined coming out if teams that you least expected. Culture and belonging are crucial to creativity, and in my opinion, running a successful team.
This is very well written and researched book with compelling interviews from some of the best cultural hackers of our age.

Yes, culture trump everything else, the stories seems ok but the narration made it a bit boring for me. The audio book is a bit lengthy though.

Starts well... then goes downhill rapidly
This book was very disappointing. The content starts strongly with new information and then quickly descends into a rehash of examples much used in other books. I took notes in the first chapter, but learned nothing new after that.
Also the narrator is not strong. To differentiate speakers, he uses various voices. Many of them simply give the impression that the person being quoted is a little slow, but the regional accents, particularly the British ones are cringeworthy.
I'll be returning this book. if you're interested in group culture there are many better books than this

Actionable advice on how to build great teams
A must-read for anyone interested in building highly-successful teams and happy, healthy cultures. The author spent four years researching teams to better understand what makes great groups work - from professional basketball teams, to comedy troupes, from Pixar to the SEALs. The book is packed full of fascinating insights and stories, but you walk away with actionable advice and three simple rules:
1. Build safety
2. Share vulnerability
3. Establish purpose

Some useful guidance but a bit diluted
Had some really useful observations and guidance in there, but I found that these were diluted by other content, so at the end it was hard to think what key takeaways I had gained from it.
Would have helped to have these summarised at the end of each chapter then again at the end of the book.

OK-ish but pretty basic
It's a shallow (but occasionally interesting) collection of stories about what things make a group more effective. Doesn't go into any depth and there is no actual 'real life' value that can be gained from it. Could easily have be a two page article with no relavent information lost.

So much good stuff in here
This book analyses and explains "culture" in ways that make it easy to understand that wether you're a platoon fighting in WW1 or in a modern startup in 2020 then culture as a concept is essentially the same thing.
Really good learnings.

Insightful with great case studies
The book condenses down into three elements of building a great culture : 1) creating belonging, 2) sharing vulnerability, and 3) establishing purpose. Using this as the core message, the author not only conveys what makes a great culture, but paints a picture with a wide range of examples and case studies on why teams succeed and fail. Would definitely recommend consuming as an audiobook too as it is narrated well.

A must read for anyone who interacts with other people!
I have recommended this book to so many people and read/listened to it twice in a month.
Whether you are a coach, captain, teacher, entrepreneur, corporate leader, parent or a member of any group, the many insights in here will help you and your peers become more effective and multiply the efforts from your interactions.
As a new member of a start-up I’m figuring out ways to share and embed some of the concepts into our team culture. I will be reading this book again over the coming months.

Well constructed with lots of interesting insights
This book reaffirmed a lot of what I had picked up from other books in this genre, but also introduced some new concepts/ thinking.
It was an enjoyable listen. I appreciated that the author didn't spend too long on each new idea and also included plenty of examples from the real world.
I'd recommend this book to others and will also be returning to it for multiple read throughs.

Super insightful and helpful
This isn't an exhaustive 'how to change your culture' but gives fantastic helps and language to this difficult thing called 'culture' within an organisation. We're going to read it through as a leadership team to workshop each chapter and see how these findings can relate to our organisation. I found it incredibly insightful and helpful as a research and processing tool.

What people should read before they get to lead.
Important messages here within interesting stories. I feel like it could do with a companion guide to help managers understand the important concepts better so they themselves might bring these ideas to life. Good stuff.

5 times longer than needed
If you missed the point the first time its given, don't worry; you have 10 more examples to get it 😅
Secondly, as with all books, the lack of disputation capacity leaves me wondering to what extent this was all correct.
Don't regret the listen though; provokes thoughts and suggests patterns that are properly worth adopting.

Surfaces great insights into successful teams
This book unpacks the critical elements of sustained high performance, using examples of businesses and teams that have had 10+ years at the top of their respective fields. Reinforces key aspects such as trust and vulnerability and the importance of psychological safety, supported by some practical actions that leaders can take to optimise their organisation’s culture. Have started listening again to try to consolidate and consider ways to apply in my own org.

Great summary of helpful evidence based concepts
A helpful book for understanding useful concepts for workplace culture and performance improvement. These concepts are presented in an easy to understand way with interesting analogies. Also applicable outside the workplace in sports teams and just day to day life.
