High Ten

You Don't Get The Culture You Wish For. You Get The Culture You Design! And If You Don't Design Your Culture, Beware That Someone Else Will! High-performance team culture isn't built in a day. It's earned through intentional actions and reinforcing behaviors that increase trust and productivity. In High Ten , influential coach Martin Rooney shows you how to make culture the "immune system" of your business or team--using it to eliminate the "5 Culture Killers" while applying the "3 Cornerstones of Culture." High Ten is the story of Brian Knight, a retired coach who no longer feels needed. After thirty years coaching sport teams and businesses how to improve their culture and communication, Brian finds himself lacking purpose. After a chance meeting, Brian is called upon to use his experiences to help two people: his former athlete Marcus and a young CEO named Sam. Written in an engaging and easy-to-read style, this book shows you the necessary steps to create a supportive culture that brings team members together around your organization's core values and mission. Based on his two decades of building successful business cultures, coaching professional and collegiate sport teams, and consulting Fortune 500 companies, Martin Rooney uses his gift of storytelling to reveal a leadership manual for "culture coaches" everywhere. High Ten is the tale that team coaches, business owners and managers will turn to again and again for lessons to build a rich and productive team culture.
