How Culture Really Works

Culture offsites that stop at vague values don’t work.

After 15 years of leading executive offsites, I’ve rarely seen them lead to real change. That’s because those events happen away from the current work culture, they try to do to much, and they do too little to make culture a daily practice. What culture is matters less than what culture does, and that happens in daily moments with intentional practice.

How Culture Really Works reimagines what culture looks like in practice, why our current way of shaping culture through offsites is well-intentioned but counterproductive, and how to make culture a living daily practice leading to visible results. This ebook contains relatable examples and a playbook for moving from vague, fuzzy ideals to actions that bring out the true potential of the most powerful force in your company.
