Thermostat Cultures

Jason Barger

“Culture is not a side priority on high-performing teams. It is EVERYTHING. Jason Barger is right on in his approach to people, alignment and values. His spirit and work is infectious and highly-valuable. Thermostat Cultures is a must read.” – Howard Behar, former President, Starbucks Coffee

 

“There is a common desire to be part of something larger than ourselves. In a team setting, culture is the glue that brings together like minded individuals, for better or worse. Perennial losing cultures have indifference to communication, accountability, and grit. Strong winning cultures promote these values as the lifeblood of their journey. Jason Barger’s proactive spirit and message is foundational.” – Shane Battier, 2-Time NBA World Champion (Miami Heat), 2001 Men’s Basketball National Champion (Duke)

 

“Organizations love posters with words about Values. That’s always good. But thankfully Jason Barger takes the next steps to help you live the culture you want with intentional action. Thermostat Cultures gives the reader permission to lead and to care.” – Terry Hershey, author of The Power of Pause
