Visual book review: The Culture Blueprint (Robert Richman)
Posted: - Modified: | business, visual-book-notesThe Culture Blueprint is an upcoming book that draws on lessons from Zappo’s corporate culture. It offers a mix of high-level advice as well as practical tips on how to influence your company’s culture and help your company be more effective. I liked the chapter on implementation, which includes a sample conversation showing how someone negotiated an experiment’s scope until the person got the resources and commitment needed. The tips are geared more towards medium- to large-sized companies, but even small business owners can benefit from the focus on values and stories.

Although I am curious about one point where "are you willing to fire someone..." Especially in unionized jobs, it's going to be difficult. Firing (instead of layoff) would also have to deal with legal repercussions.
