Reviews

[Jeff Cann · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think this book is a great reference to help companies create a great culture. Few companies are intentional about building excellent cultures and there are many great ideas and wisdom in this book. It was worth reading to learn them.

I struggled in the final four chapters because the lists and processes were hard to distinguish unless they are being used in an organization.
