"Creating Cultural Change"
summary
Argues that technical fixes often fail because real barriers are cultural, and gives concrete wins: a humor poster coffee campaign at Amazon keeps the office coffee pot nearly always full; a lone dancer sparks a crowd into a movement in 2 minutes 40 seconds at Sasquatch; a Diamond Shreddies combo pack rebrand raises sales well above expectations. Recommends specific tactics: show one bad session from logs, create a cross‑team “virtual ops” with t‑shirts or review authority, and be persistent and relentlessly positive.
