Re-Culture: A Leadership Guide to Restore Connection, Collaboration, and Trust in Today's Disconnected Workplace

In a time of unprecedented change, Re-Culture shows leaders how to repair what’s broken in workplace culture and design environments where everyone can thrive.

This book is perfect for leaders who hear any of the following:

• Our people are exhausted
• We’re going through major change and people are resistant
• Employee engagement scores are dropping
• Morale is low
• We may have a toxic culture

Through powerful case studies—from Bill Belichick’s no-bullshit approach to Pixar’s trust equation, and from the failure of Manchester United’s marginal gains to WD-40’s legendary tribal promise—Markel exposes the hidden patterns separating thriving cultures from dying ones.

You'll discover:

• Why Nice vs. Kind might be destroying your team
• How to Fail Like an NBA Champion (and why failure is your competitive advantage)
• The truth about Re-Culture Feedback that actually changes behavior
• Why Micromanagement Builds Micro Organizations and three ways to stop
• How Coherence Makes Resilience and why alignment beats perfection
• The 60-30-10 Rule for designing culture that sticks
• Why you should Forget John and Paul, and Find Your Ringo to build complete teams
• How Touch in a Touchless World rebuilds human connection remotely

Markel dismantles the Six Myths of Culture keeping organizations stuck, introduces the transformative WORK WELL TOGETHER framework, and provides the code of culture.

This isn’t a manifesto. It's an invitation—from me to you to we.
