If you want to read a short, practical, and insightful book on team culture, then the Culture Playbook is the book you’ve been waiting for. The main premise of this book is that culture doesn’t depend on who you are but on what you do. It is not a gift you receive; it’s a skill you learn. The book shares 60 different actions that can help develop that skill. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Zero Tolerance for Brilliant Jerks
- Embrace deep fun
- Embrace the deep work of building racial equity and belonging
- Make a Habit of Over-thanking People
- Use Flash Mentoring
The main advantage of this book is that it considers how some of the actions apply differently to virtual environments vs in-person ones. It is filled with practical questions and exercises.
