Description
One of the brightest, most honest, and nontrivial books about corporate culture by the well-known investor and author of the international bestseller “It Won’t Be Easy” Ben Horowitz. An amazing work at the intersection of business, leadership, and cultural research, in which Horowitz turned not to the traditional list of privileged representatives of Fortune 500, but to the history of humanity.
Culture is not a set of rules, but what we do every day and what guides us at work. Culture is like how a company makes decisions. It’s a set of principles employees use to solve everyday problems. It’s how they behave when nobody is watching.
The book discusses leaders of the present, the past, and the distant past through examples of the widest variety of communities united by a strong culture—from the leader of the Haitian Revolution and the head of a U.S. prison gang to samurai and Genghis Khan. The author analyzes these cultures and connects them to modern companies—“McDonald’s,” “Uber,” “Netflix,” and many others.
