Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad

Some books teach you something new. The best ones hand you the words for something you already believed. This is the second kind. Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad by Eric Ries For years I’ve built and advised companies around a single conviction. The only durable way to prosper is to create value – never to extract it from the customers and the teams who make a company work. I lean on value-based organizations and on holacracy: distributed ownership, decisions made by the people closest to them, a culture of lifting others up instead of hoarding what we know. And a healthy distrust of “best practices” – because best practices are too often how good companies quietly drift into mediocrity.
