Have you ever been part of an organization where everyone and everything just seemed to click? People are motivated and things get done. Contrast that experience with being part of an organization that feels toxic. Demoralization, cynicism, and infighting emotionally drain the people who work within it, and dysfunction reigns. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why do some organizations thrive and others flounder? My guest today<\/span> argues that it all comes down to culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

His name is Daniel Coyle and he\u2019s the author of the book The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups<\/i><\/a>.
