Building a Strong Team Culture

10 Essential Management Tips

By: Liora Quade

Narrated by: Steven Becker

Building a Strong Team Culture: 10 Essential Management Tips by Liora Quade is a timely and powerful guide for any leader who understands that the foundation of lasting success is not just strategy or productivity—it’s culture.

In today's competitive workplace, perks and benefits can no longer compensate for a lack of connection, trust, or psychological safety. Culture is the unseen force that shapes how teams collaborate, innovate, and thrive—or how they fall apart. Liora Quade delivers a practical, no-nonsense framework for cultivating a workplace culture where people feel valued, empowered, and driven by shared purpose.

Drawing on organisational psychology, leadership science, and years of hands-on management experience, this book unpacks what truly makes a team culture succeed. These ten essential principles are not fluffy ideals. They are clear, actionable habits and mindsets that help managers move from transactional oversight to transformational leadership.

The journey begins with leading by example—because culture always starts at the top. If you want honesty, you must model it. If you expect collaboration, you must foster it. From there, the book dives deep into the human side of leadership: how to create psychological safety, communicate with transparency, and foster a true sense of belonging. You’ll learn how to hire not just for skills but for values. How to turn feedback into a tool for growth. How to confront toxicity before it festers. And how to build team rituals that reinforce identity, pride, and purpose.

Actionable, not fluffy

I’ve read many leadership books that stay at a high level, but Liora Quade provides actual habits you can start today. The section on building team rituals was especially useful for my remote team. It’s practical, no-nonsense advice for the modern manager.

More Than Management It’s Human Leadership

This book goes beyond management tactics. It’s about empathy, communication, and shared purpose. I appreciated how Quade used real-life examples to explain complex leadership psychology. A must-read for anyone leading people, not just projects.

A roadmap for transformation

I’ve been struggling with a bit of toxicity in my department, and the tips on confronting issues before they fester were exactly what I needed. Quade moves you from 'transactional oversight' to true leadership. I feel much more empowered to protect my team’s energy now.

How to Make Your Team Feel Safe and Seen

The advice on psychological safety and belonging hit home. People perform better when they feel respected and valued. The book offers concrete strategies to make that happen without losing accountability.

For Anyone Serious About Culture Change

We used this book to guide a company-wide culture initiative. It gave us a language to discuss values and behaviors clearly. The impact has been remarkable.
