A quick and easy read but definitely with a lot of really great tips and leaves you with a lot to reflect on. Really excited to start implementing some of this in the team!

I think culture is one of the most important things in a workplace. I would be willing to make less money but work in a culture that values the same things that I do and with a team that I enjoy working with over making more money but being unhappy.
As a manager, I spend a lot of time thinking about culture at work and what are ways that we can continue to make it better for our work teams. I went into The Culture Playbook from this lens - looking for ways to continue to improve our work culture. I appreciated some of the lessons shared and activities - particularly when it comes to vulnerability. The biggest standout to me is that people think they should build trust and then can show vulnerability when it's really the reverse and showing that vulnerability is how we work to build trust as a team.
I think this is a book that is probably best used as a source to dip back into over time and try different actions. Reading it straight through felt repetitive at times but I don't think that's really the best way to use this resource. I also appreciated that the book made a point to call out hybrid and remote strategies as well as more typical in person actions.
Thank you to Bantam for the advance reading copy.

“The only thing of real importance that leaders do is create and manage culture. If you don’t manage culture, it manages you.” - Edgar Schein
This book partners with Daniel Couple’s earlier book, The Culture Code. It includes practical exercises to improve your group’s culture.

I'm pretty sure I meant to put The Culture Code on hold at the library, but got this related book instead. A nicely compact skim that I imagine covers the broad strokes of The Culture Code. Consists of a bunch of tips separated into reasonable sections. I don't think it's that useful unless you're in a position of leadership in your team/org, and some of the tips do seem hokey, but there's enough tips that there's bound to be useful ones for most situations. Overall, not disappointed that I skimmed it, but also not actively useful for me either.
