I agree with his assessment wholeheartedly especially in todays business environment the ability to accomplish these three things is paramount for successful cultural development."Making Culture Pay" is easy reading and quite frankly every manager regardless of level and industry should read this book as it will provide them with a road map towards gaining a competitive advantage----Great cultures drive the success of Great companies!!In our present business state, "Making Culture Pay" is an excellent guide towards building a great culture during these turbuent times.

In Jerry Haney's boo, Making Culture Pay, he first lays the ground work of why culture impacts the bottom line so strongly. What makes this book stand out from others is that Jerry not only gives you theory, he gives you the practical steps to creating a positive culture in your organization. Jerry gets rid of the excuses that employees often give - - that they do not have the power to positively impact the culture of their organization. He shows how everyone has the ability to make a difference in their own section of the company. All employees can help to create a positive culture in their subgroups thereby opening the door to productivity and job satisfaction for the people they interact with. Jerry also draws the parallel that happy employees make happy customers. This book is an easy read. The rubik's cube model that Jerry uses to demonstrate the components of a great culture is an easy one remember and a clear one to understand. This book is a must for eveyone who wants to make a difference in their organization!
