Full of stories and insights, Shane unpacks the 5 conversations about culture that every leader should have with their team.

Although leaders intuitively know that culture is key to the success of their organizations and the well-being of their employees, it is a notoriously slippery construct. Shane helps leaders gain traction by distilling a broad set of research findings and ideas into compelling frameworks, providing concrete examples of practices others have followed, and offering practical advice for putting the ideas into action. I would highly recommend this book to any leader embarking on a large-scale program of culture change. Sameer B. Srivastava; Associate Professor and Ewald T. Grether Chair in Business Administration and Public Policy at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, University of California & Co-director Berkeley Haas Culture Initiative

Culture is a tricky beast, but one that’s so critical to get right in any organisation who wants to do best for both their teams and their customers. Shane has done a great job in demystifying and making the case for the role of a people leader in defining, building, changing, and strengthening culture. It’s full of practical questions and actions all leaders should be asking themselves and their teams.Steph Clarke; facilitator, and host of Steph’s Business Bookshelf podcast

“It’s true that the best storytelling wins but the leader who knows how to talk about culture helps the entire team win. In this engaging and entertaining book, Shane has crafted the roadmap for exactly how to have those critical conversations that will help you craft the kinds of culture everyone is taking about. I wish I’d had this book when I started my managerial journey 20 years ago. If you’re charged with managing others, this book is the companion you’ve been looking for.” Mike Ganino, Public Speaking and Storytelling Coach; Creator of The Mike Drop Method

After over 20 years running my recruitment business and with over 30 years in the recruitment industry, speaking to different organisations daily about the highs and lows of leading people, I can’t express enough the impact culture has on the success of an organisation and the overall job satisfaction for people who work there. What I love about Shane’s book is he really gets to the heart of what drives culture and through learning from some of the best places to work in Australia shares with us some of the key actions leaders can take to influence and shape the culture they aspire to. Most of what I have learnt as a leader has been through trial and error and many years of experience, I wish I had read books like this earlier in my career because it gives me some of the greatest joy to know that we now have a wonderful business and culture and my team truly love where they work and what they do. Nikki Beaumont Founder/ CEO of Beaumont People

As a leader, any leader, how do you comprehend something you can see, feel and experience everyday – yet struggle to explain to anyone outside of it? You have a conversation. Many conversations. Let’s Talk Culture is the ‘many conversations’ every leader who wants to be intentional about culture must first have with themselves. Shane skilfully weaves hundreds of impressions together and casually, yet pragmatically offers the blueprint to growing a culture that lives, is inclusive, and wins. James Comer, Head of HR, ANZ + People Partner for Sales Engineering, APJC at Cisco

Shane paints a wonderfully vivid narrative of culture as a language we can all learn to speak, even if our dialects are slightly different.
