"""Meredith Wilson pushes through where other culture books stop. At the point of providing tips for actions leaders could take, she shifts gears into building momentum, creating a flywheel for culture wrangling that allows organisations to harness their uniqueness."" Callum McKirdy, Author, Coach & Advocate Different Thinking ""Few people have studied organisational culture as exhaustively as Meredith Wilson. If you're leading change, transformation, a movement or a revolution, Shift should be required reading."" Dan Gregory, Co-Founder, The Behaviour Report ""This book has the unique feel of a coaching session with a leadership coach; it's a practical, actionable, enjoyable conversation. Shift helps make culture tangible for leaders and provides a blueprint to leverage everyday actions for impact. In a competitive talent market, it is a must-read for leaders wanting to create a competitive advantage through culture."" Andrea McDonald, u&u Recruitment ""Shift is such a relevant book for right now. Things need to change; organisations need to update how they operate and treat their people and ensure that their culture is fit for the future of work. It can be complicated. If they choose to do nothing, it's at their peril. Good people are drawn to great cultures. I love how Meredith demystifies culture and breaks it down for us. 'Cultures are caught, not taught.' Absolutely! Do you think you have a cultural issue? This is the book to help you figure that out."" Emma McQueen, Business Mentor and Coach ""Culture is your day job"". One of many straight-talking and high impact gems from Meredith's book Shift. Finally, someone has written a book on culture that cuts through the jargon and applies to organisations big and small. Every leader should read this book and apply its wisdom pronto."" Belinda Brosnan, Executive Coach, Author and Leadership Change Agent ""Too many books on culture serve too much Kool-Aid to be practical and useful. In Shift, Meredith provides leaders (and everyone else!) with real, useful and important actions and models to undertake. My teams and I have benefited from the wisdom within, and you can too. Feel the GRASS. Take up the OAR. Make culture actionable."" David French, Accenture"
