Performance Culture: How to Build Teams That Win

"A breakthrough guide that transforms how organizations think about people, performance, and culture." --Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won't Get You There Unlock the next great business advantage--inclusive culture that drives performance. While most organizations obsess over technology, processes, and operations, they overlook the most powerful lever they have--culture. Each year, businesses spend over $366 billion on culture and development programs. And yet, 70% of that investment fails to improve performance. In Performance Culture, Diversio CEO and workplace performance expert Laura McGee reveals why legacy culture, DEI, and engagement programs have stalled--and how to replace them with a measurable, ROI-driven system. Drawing on data from 200,000+ employees, case studies from companies like OMERS, Ubisoft, and Costco, and research partnerships with institutions including the Alan Turing Institute and Queen's University, McGee introduces the Performance Culture Formula: Performance = Culture (Motivation × Inclusion) × Development (Training × Opportunity) The formula isn't theory. It's a practical operating system that connects human potential directly to revenue, cost, and profit. Inside you'll learn: - Why most engagement, DEI, and training programs fail--and how to build ones that work - How to diagnose and fix the culture-performance gap in your organization - What high-performing companies do differently to achieve measurable returns - How to design infrastructure that turns motivation and inclusion into sustained excellence - How to future-proof your culture in a post-DEI, AI-enabled, politically volatile world Whether you're a CEO aligning culture with growth, a CHRO rebuilding trust and retention, or a skeptical operator tired of vague culture talk--this is your playbook to stop measuring feelings and start engineering performance.
