Daniel Coyle The Culture Code
“Give a good idea to a mediocre team, and they’ll
find a way to screw it up. Give a mediocre idea to
a good team, and they’ll find a way to make it
better. The goal needs to be to get the team right,
get them moving in the right direction, and get
them to see where they are making mistakes and
where they are succeeding.”
