Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Culture Code
Daniel Coyle · 2018
79/100
👍 Worth It
Coyle pulls from Navy SEALs, IDEO, and even a jewel-theft gang to show what actually builds strong team culture — safety, vulnerability, and purpose — and he makes it concrete enough to apply. It leans on anecdote more than data, but the stories are well-chosen and the framework sticks with you.
