This is a book I go back to again and again when working with teams who are interested in ramping up their cohesiveness and effectiveness. Since its writing in 2018, I think his message has only become more important, and I whole heartedly believe in his statement, “Group culture is one of the most powerful forces on the planet.”
Since many of our workplaces have moved to a virtual format, it is so important that we are now focusing on creating an amazing team culture in an online/work from home environment!
Through his research in sectors such as creative, hospitality, military (and everything in between), Daniel explores three primary skills: 1) build safety – create an environment where it is ok to provide feedback, regardless of status; 2) share vulnerability – allow for an environment where team’s are willing to accept the help and support of others, which in turn, drives trusting cooperation; and, 3) establish purpose – foster an environment of a shared culture that defines the group’s purpose and goals.
