**Business Book Awards 2025 Finalist**

Most culture change programs change nothing. This book changes everything.

Most attempts at culture change fail because they don’t get under the hood of what’s really going on. As a result growth is slowed, or performance continues to fall off a cliff, or the toxic culture continues to make headlines.

It doesn’t have to be this way, and it’s easier than you might think to make real change right now. Andrew Saffron shows you exactly what to do – and how to do it – to get to the heart of your organization’s culture and change it for the better, fast.

But more than that, this book will help you set up the goals and infrastructure you need to better behaviors and improve performance.’ – NetGalley 4*

And replace it with everything you need to make your culture the performance accelerant it needs to be for your business. A must read for every leader. – Julie Nerney, Transformation Leader and Non-Executive Director
