“If you are a leader—or if you work with one—and want to understand how to build psychological safety, trust, and a sense of purpose for your team, then you need this book.”—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE Forbes
Building a team has never been harder than it is right now. How do you create connection and trust? How do you stay focused on your goals? In his years studying the ways successful groups work together, Daniel Coyle has spent time with elite teams around the world, observing the ways they support each other, manage conflict, and move toward a common goal. In The Culture Playbook , he distills everything he has learned into sixty concrete, actionable tips and exercises that will help your team build a cohesive, positive culture.
Great cultures, Coyle has found, are built on three essential safety, vulnerability, and purpose. Within this framework, he shows us how we can better serve our teammates, ourselves, and our shared purpose,
• scheduling regular team “tune-ups” to place an explicit spotlight on the team’s inner workings and create conversations that surface and improve team dynamics
• creating spaces for remote coworkers to connect with their colleagues to foster a team spirit even across distances
• holding an anxiety party to serve as a pressure-relief valve, as well as a platform for people to connect and solve problems together
With reflections, exercises, and practical tips that will prove invaluable to companies, athletes, and families alike, and replete with black-and-white illustrations, The Culture Playbook is an indispensable guide to ensuring that your team performs at its best.
The Culture Playbook: 60 Highly Effective Actions to Help Your Group Succeed Reviews
-
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. -
Having worked many lame corporate jobs, I certainly wish more people would actually read, and most importantly, actually IMPLEMENT some of these ideas into the work place. Oftentimes it's the "managers" who care the least and make disingenuous attempts of building "culture". This book has several good tips for those who do care, and do wish to actually make real positive changes in their work environments. I can appreciate this book for that reason as most seemed helpful, even if some could appear fake in practice. When it comes to culture, there's a big difference between doing something because you actually want to and feel it's truly right vs. doing something just because you "think" it's the right thing to do and your only motivation is to appear as if you did the "right" thing.
Now to everyone who read or reads this book, your big challenge is to go out there and actually IMPLEMENT these in real life and make your fellow coworkers less miserable! -
If you work in any organization or work on any team, mark your calendars for May 3, 2022 to buy this book! I often write that I measure how much value I received from a business book by how many notes I took. In this case it's by the fact that I highlighted 61 concepts that I will be adding to my toolbox for the work I do with teams. I have received great value from all of Daniel Coyle's books I have read and I was a bit hesitant that this one would be too repetitive or too light. I was wrong! It ignores all of the background and research and focuses on providing tactical concepts and activities that anyone can use immediately. The research and science is important and he and others have covered that in many books. This book is different and it is very well done!
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an early release in exchange for a fair an honest review. -
The Culture Playbook builds on Daniel Coyle’s earlier book, The Culture Code, defining 60 concise, actionable, scientifically proven tips for developing great groups.
So, if you wish to develop greater group cohesion and safety, generate much higher levels of trust and be more transparent on purpose, I highly recommend this book.
As an additional bonus, Daniel also offers a set of conversation starters and exercises that will help you assess and improve your current team culture.
As Stephen Covey once said, reading The Culture Playbook will help you sharpen your saw. You, the leader, control great culture, and Daniel Coyle shows you how! The culture you have comes from the actions you take. Here’s a great book to help you work out where you need to improve. -
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.

This book had some great tips and ideas to implement in a team environment. It is timely in its' suggestions for improving culture in a time when our world is hurting on so many levels.
it is meant to be a playbook and I am feeling like I need more and need to visit this author's culture code as well. -
“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. -
great book to read in a manager or decision maker role! was a relatively quick read— i was loving the format of reading a few sections each morning for a quick by satisfying start to the day. enjoyed that it seems well researched.

Wonderful book
-
Very practical and easy to read. Many ideas for interactions with your teams to foster a safer environment and spur innovation.
-
This is the simplest most straightforward guide to org culture health. As a result I find it a fantastic starting point, and possibly the only book you'd need on the topic.
-
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!
-
Super practical and seeded with stories from successful culture first companies - great follow on from the Culture Code, so much to take away from this book!
-
Worth considering, even if you do these actions by intuition. Not rocket science.
-
A good thought igniter for simple tactics to influence culture.
-
Really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend reading his book The Culture Code first. It lays the foundation, and this book provides the tips and tricks to put ideas into action.
-
This book is so packed with relevant, powerful and easy ideas that I immediately ordered an extra copy for myself.
-
More of a ploy to monetise the success of The Culture Code than anything else. A handbook that might give managers some good ideas to try out, but lacks depth.
