Don't forget our very own Jeff Veyera (TWEF community) and his book Culture is Everything sold here on the ASQ website - https://asq.org/quality-press/display-item?item=H1568!
In addition, I also highly recommend David Dye's Courageous Cultures, and just about anything from John Spence - https://johnspence.com/books/
Have a great weekend!

I have a rather eclectic list of favorites from my 43-year journey across multiple industries and eras.
First, James A. Autry's Love & Profit- The Art of Caring Leadership is a timeless resource for dealing with people as people in the workplace. From motivation to termination.
Next, Works by Stephen R. Covey are all great, but I would especially point out The Speed of Trust- The One Thing That Changes Everything. Building a high trust workplace is the key to a truly effective and efficient organization.
Jim Clemmer is another favorite. He is the president of the Clemmer Group, he publishes articles, has a blog, and has authored many books including The Leaders Digest - Timeless principles for team and organization success, which is a great survey of leadership topics. He also wrote an amazing book on how to leverage service and quality to build high performing organizations Firing on All Cylinders - The Servicer/Quality System for High Powered Corporate Performance
More recently I was introduced to A Great Place to Work for All: Better for Business, Better for People, Better for the World. by Michael C. Bush CEO and The Great Place to Work Research Team . It contains recent statistics that demonstrate the power of leadership in building a workplace that leverages the strengths of all.
There are many others that have shaped my thoughts on the subject across the years but these are a few that stand out.
Enjoy!
