“High-purpose environments are filled with small, vivid signals designed to create a link between the present moment and a future ideal. They provide the two simple locators that every navigation process requires: Here is where we are and Here is where we want to go. The surprising thing is, from a scientific point of view, is how responsive we are to this pattern of signaling."

-- Daniel Coyle, The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups
