Find ways to build trust
The Culture Guy
March 29, 2021
Trust is the foundation stone of any team’s success. Without trust a team is nothing more than a group of individuals with their own personal agendas. It is definitely not a functioning, high performing team.
Building trust is fundamental. Brené Brown talks about it often, Patrick Lencioni writes about it in pretty much every one of his books. Trust is absolutely necessary, but it is hard to cultivate even when a team comes together in a common workspace. It is twice as hard when teammates don’t spend time together regularly. Trust is difficult, for two reasons.
While everyone worked in the same geographical location, most communication happened organically – chatting over an office divider, popping over to a colleague’s desk to ask a quick question, or grabbing some coffee together and having a 10 minute catch up or gossip.
Clarify Expectations.
The Culture Guy
March 15, 2021
Once you introduce this new level of self-motivation and self organisation for people, they will have a lot of space and a lot of decisions to make themselves about how, when, and what work they do and when they complete tasks, so it is imperative that they understand the rules of the game, the expectations, the framework for making the right decisions that reflect the values of the company and the expectations of clients.

Four Times Four: The 8 non-negotiable rules of champion teams.
LoveTimeDeath Publishing
May 03, 2025
What separates truly great teams from those that merely collect talented individuals? What enables some organisations to win consistently across generations while others capture fleeting glory before fading into mediocrity?
The answer lies not in tactics or talent but in culture, specifically, eight non-negotiable rules that form the foundation of sustained excellence.
Four Times Four reveals these essential principles: four rules for players and four rules for coaches.
From the All Blacks' legendary dominance to Manchester United's decades of success, from underdog triumphs to dynasty building, these principles transcend sport to offer a blueprint for excellence in any collective endeavour.
This isn't theory, it's a battlefield-tested system for transforming groups of individuals into something far more powerful: a true team with shared purpose, unwavering standards, and the resilience to overcome any challenge.
Whether you lead a sports team, business unit, or any group striving for exceptional performance, Four Times Four provides the framework that turns potential into achievement and occasional success into lasting legacy.
The Business of Humans
ONLE Networking
May 25, 2021
The COVID crisis has accelerated a process of human disconnection that was already moving at a frightening pace. Yet despite the many awful consequences of the pandemic and the resulting lockdowns, one positive is that this process may have begun reversing. This book - written by the members of ONLE Networking - is about taking control of your time, priorities and communication to ensure that you, your goals, purpose and relationships are more important than the business you run.
From a young age we are conditioned to constrain ourselves; to limit our dreams; to protect ourselves from failure; to confine our dreams to only that which we can see is possible. From every side, we are told to dream small, aim low, live a mediocre life. Well, I say no more! NO MORE FEAR! Now is the time to cast off mediocrity. To dream big! To aim high! To step out, step up and be the very best you can be! This book is the catalyst! A manifesto for life.

Unstoppable: How fearless leaders create extraordinary companies that change everything.
The Culture Guy
January 01, 2025
What if your company could become unstoppable, not just commercially successful, but profoundly meaningful? What if you could build an organisation so resilient, so purpose-driven, and so extraordinary that it is immune from competition and becomes a force for change in the world?
This isn’t fantasy. Today’s most extraordinary companies, from Patagonia to LEGO, from Interface to Buurtzorg, have discovered the blueprint for building organisations that thrive precisely because they matter. They’ve created environments where people are desperate to work, where customers become raving fans, and where purpose and profit powerfully reinforce each other.
Drawing on fifteen years of work with transformative organisations across industries, this keynote reveals the framework that makes these companies unstoppable. The world doesn’t need more ordinary companies. It needs organisations built to matter, places where work has meaning, where innovation solves real problems, and where success is measured by impact as well as profit.
