We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Publisher's Summary
What could your company accomplish if it could attract and retain employees who buy into your organization's mission 100 percent?
Culture Wins is a practical yet challenging modern guidebook for organizations that want to own the future. Its firsthand insights into building a contagious culture will drive sustainable growth and innovation for any organization. You will build a healthy workplace, increase revenue, and change the world with the lessons you'll learn. Stop losing employees, grow your team, and build a contagious company culture that outlasts the competition.
There are books on general team building, there are books on workplace best practices, and there are books on leadership - but there is not a book that shows forward-thinking leaders how to integrate it into today's new job-hopping culture.
William Vanderbloemen uses his company's proven experience in staffing and organizational consulting to provide a global perspective of effective, thriving cultures - and how to create them.

Profound Ideas but....
Won't say this is a great piece. But a good start particularly if you're just entering into the space of Corporate Culture. It spells out the basics but the idea of positioning the ideas as absolute is pushing things far. At the minimum, it's more of an opinion (of the author and the CEOs he interviewed) and not a research. So the ideas are profound, but they shouldn't be positioned as do or die practice.

You can get the same information from better sources
It’s fine. Good read, but falls into the work should be your friends and family trap, and relies on some outdated, internal hiring non-sense which isn’t so much insight as much as it is something called connections. “I hired my son and my son’s friend and we worked together great.” No Duh. It’s kind of oblivious to it’s own biases and prejudices that in a modern and global world shows its own hand. It also calls work your framily unironically.
Again you can get the same info from other better, less we’re a big happy family sources. I recommend anything from Google.

Just finished Culture Wins by William Vanderbloemen. Fantastic practical wisdom. I wish I'd have had this resource 30 years ago. "Even when it's bad, culture wins". I implemented practices from this book on day 1 after reading. If you lead ANY team this book will help you.

Culture wins!
Very true. Culture wins. It must built and nurtured intentionally. New hires must demonstrate as close a cultural fit as possible otherwise they won’t blend in. It’s also true that culture evolves. Thanks for bringing out key lessons about creating a great organizational culture and a great working environment.
