With this is mind, we dived deep into The Culture Code by Daniel Coyle with the ...

In business, there are a lot of rules that can be pushed on people to find success or propelled at managers who want to lead better. Now, we are not here to say that all rules are bad, but we are interested in what happens when people break these rules and try something ...
