To the outside world, Australia-based Very Important Corporation is a thriving and successful company. What the world doesn’t know is that Bruce Bottomline, the COO, is on the brink of quitting because he knows in his heart that the company’s culture is driving it headlong toward its own demise. Bruce is a cofounder of this company with long-time friend and CEO Helen Hardcharger, so he doesn’t want to abandon their dream. But he can’t see any way to fix the problem. Fortunately for Bruce and all of his partners and employees, fate has planned a chance meeting on an airplane between him and Sam Sherlock. Sam introduces Bruce to the concept of UGRs, or unwritten ground rules. It turns out that at the Very Important Corporation, complaining in meetings is pointless because no one tackles the issues. And employees only get visits from their boss if something is wrong. Unwritten ground rules like these need a serious overhaul. This is the vehicle for change, and Bruce comes away recharged and prepared to put the company’s corporate culture back on a track. Learn from Bruce’s mistakes and triumphs how you, too, can address your company’s UGRs and revitalize its culture.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Every organisation has rules that nobody wrote down, nobody formally agreed to and yet almost everyone understands. These are Unwritten Ground Rules, or UGRs. They shape what people say, what they avoid, which standards genuinely matter and what leaders are permitted to ignore. In *The Rules Nobody Wrote*, workplace culture specialists Steve Simpson and Stef du Plessis reveal how these hidden rules emerge, why they can become more influential than formal policies and organisational values, and what leaders can do to change them. Drawing on compelling true stories gathered across more than three decades, the authors take readers inside boardrooms, mine sites, hotels, warehouses, factories and one of the world's most exciting automotive companies. These stories show how culture is created and reinforced through everyday leadership decisions, casual conversations, workplace rituals and the behaviour that organisations reward, tolerate or overlook. The book explores both constructive and damaging UGRs, including those inherited from previous generations of employees and leaders. It demonstrates why well-intentioned culture initiatives often fail when the values displayed on the wall conflict with the rules operating in the room. Accessible, engaging and practical, *The Rules Nobody Wrote* helps leaders recognise the cultural signals they may be sending without realising it. It provides questions for reflection, practical resources and a powerful way of seeing what is really driving behaviour inside an organisation. This is a book for executives, managers, people and culture professionals, consultants and anyone responsible for building trust, improving workplace relationships and creating a culture in which stated values are genuinely lived.
