Culture Champion

Luke Taylor is the third-generation CEO of his family-founded regional bank, and he's about to lose everything. The board of directors and all of his direct reports have lost confidence in his ability to lead. The once thriving performance of the business is now faltering and he knows it's nobody's fault but his own. He has overlooked the one thing most important to the success of any leader, team, or organization. He has taken his people and his culture for granted. When an invitation arrives to attend a high school homecoming to celebrate the twenty-year anniversary of his state championship football team, he reluctantly agrees to go. A reconnection to simpler times, inspiring coaches, and a culture that builds champions may be the reboot Luke needs to save his business, his team, and his family. But is it too late? Can Luke course correct in time to once again be the leader people want to follow? A business fable for leaders and teams, Culture Champion shows the challenges and rewards of building, and sustaining, a dynamic culture. It's proof that in the best cultures, champion is a verb, not a noun. And, if you champion those around you, you'll always have success.
