You Can Culture

Transformative Leadership Habits for a Thriving Workplace, Positive Impact, and Lasting Success

In the pursuit of performance and reputation, it’s easy to overlook the actual health of your organizational culture. Before long, however, ominous symptoms often emerge—division, disengagement, silence, dysfunction, and destructive behavioral patterns—hindering you from delivering on your mission and strategy and eroding trust with your clients, team, and other crucial stakeholders.

To make things worse, many leaders are perplexed by culture, and typical change efforts are unsustainable and ineffective, with a staggering 85 percent failure rate. But there is a better way. 

Having personally endured the devastating effects of growing up in a toxic cult, Tobias Sturesson committed his career to helping large purpose-driven organizations overcome their most daunting culture challenges. On his quest, he made a crucial discovery: that, just like our physical health, achieving a thriving culture requires a change of habits. A minor change to what you repeatedly do can have a significant impact on your team and organization.

Drawing from his extensive experience and in-depth interviews with many renowned experts, researchers, and executives from well-known organizations, Tobias has identified the four most crucial and timeless culture-building leadership habits.

You Can Culture is your meticulously researched guide to these habits, laid out in twelve actionable practices. Each practice is an invitation to growth and introspection, offering reflection questions, practical tools, and leadership actions. Suitable for managers and executives alike, You Can Culture empowers you to strengthen trust, transform your culture, be a values-based leader, and leave a lasting legacy of positive change.
