Most advice tells you what to do. This shows you how.

“Culture is not a values poster, a quarterly survey or a process map. It is the sum of how your people behave when nobody is checking.”

Most books stop at the principle and leave you to work out the rest. The Perfect Culture Playbook takes seven behaviours and gives you the words, the timing and the practical steps that turn good intentions into something your customers can feel.

“Process tells your team what happened. Behaviour decides how it felt.”

Book One

The seven behaviours.

The heart of the MYReSolve approach, and the foundation every later book stands on.

  1. 1

    Listen

    Give people your full attention so they only have to say it once. How to hear the need behind the words, and what to do with what you hear.

  2. 2

    Empathise

    Move from understanding the situation to understanding the person. Language and prompts you can use in the moment without sounding scripted.

  3. 3

    Recover

    Things will go wrong. Recovery is the part people remember. A repeatable way to own the problem, put it right and keep the relationship.

  4. 4

    N+1

    Deliver everything that was expected, then add one deliberate thing more. Small, specific and repeatable, so it becomes a habit rather than a heroic effort.

  5. 5

    Empowerment

    Give your team the authority to solve the problem in front of them. Clear boundaries, visible support and no queue for permission.

  6. 6

    Happiness

    Colleagues who feel good create customers who feel it too. How to protect energy, notice the warning signs and make the good days outnumber the hard ones.

  7. 7

    Ethics

    Do the right thing when it costs you something. A simple test to apply when the easy answer and the right answer are not the same.

Who it is for

Same operation, three views.

Every book in the series is written for the whole organisation, not one audience, so the behaviour your leaders describe is the behaviour your customers actually meet.

Frontline

For the people who meet customers every day. Behaviours you can use on your very next interaction, with words you can genuinely say out loud.

Manager

For the people who check the work and coach the team. What reaches you, what you push back down, and how to back a good call in public.

Executive

For the people who set the tone and sign off the budget. The lever only you hold, and the one page you should be shown each month.

The MYReSolve Operating Playbook

Twelve playbooks. Three lenses. One page a leader can act on.

Short, practical playbooks on the things that decide whether a business runs well. Industry-agnostic, never generic. Each one opens with a pattern you will recognise from your own week, and ends with the two or three numbers that tell you whether it is working. All twelve are out now: £24 each, or £149 for the complete series.

About the author

Written from the shop floor, not the seminar room.

Rob Pierce, founder of MYReSolve

Rob Pierce has spent more than 25 years in customer facing and operational leadership, working with businesses including John Lewis, Rapha and Loaf.

The seven behaviours in this playbook are the ones he saw work again and again: simple enough for a first day, strong enough to hold a whole culture together. The eleven books that follow take the same three views to the rest of the operation.
