Overview

"For at least the last fifty years, corporate leaders have come to understand the importance of having a healthy company culture. Peter Drucker, the ""father of management theory,"" went so far as to suggest that ""culture eats strategy for breakfast."" Yet, why is managing people effectively so difficult and elusive? What is missing? And why, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, are so many people quitting their jobs? In The Open Culture Handbook, Drew Jones draws on twenty-five years of consulting experience and his background as a cultural anthropologist to present a simple framework for tackling the culture dilemma. The book shifts the culture conversation from abstractions and ideals to the tangible and changeable aspects of employee experience."
