The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups

Build Your Culture

by David Meyer

Daniel Coyle’s New York Times bestseller details how successful organizations build mutual trust, vulnerability and communication.

In this New York Times bestseller – a Bloomberg and Library Journal Best Book of the Year – Daniel Coyle explains why creating a strong team culture requires the skills to “build safety,” “share vulnerability” and “establish purpose.”

Culture is a set of living relationships working toward a shared goal. It’s not something you are. It’s something you do.Daniel Coyle

After four years of research, Coyle brings his ideas alive with anecdotes and real-world examples that captivate and inform. His examples show the Pixar movie studio producing hits, the San Antonio Spurs winning five NBA championships under coach Gregg Popovich, restaurateur Danny Meyer launching 24 successful restaurants and US Navy SEAL teams operating in dynamic unison on dangerous missions.

    "Vulnerability precedes trust; trust doesn’t beget vulnerability." Beautiful.
