Daniel Coyle spent four years with organisations such as Pixar, Zappos, The Union Square Hospitality Group and the US Navy Seals, trying to figure out what makes for a great culture within the workplace.
Across the piste, he found that three things need to be in place to make way for highly engaged and productive teams: psychological safety, leadership vulnerability and an identified purpose.
Using detailed examples, Coyle makes a compelling case for a new kind of leadership, certainly a leadership style that will be beneficial to survival in an increasingly complex and volatile future of work landscape.
We’d recommend this as essential reading for anyone with a responsibility for organisational culture.
