Chapters

You're a fan of the classics, which is great. But if you're like most of the people who read it and reference this book, you also ignore the advice. Which means you're probably the one getting disrupted, usually by someone half your age with a laptop and a premium ChatGPT subscription. Still, great book. 4.6 out of 5 stars. You're absolutely crushing it at vulnerability. You're brave, you're open. You're willing to share your feelings. The problem? Your team is secretly tired of crying in every single meeting and they wish you would be just a little less vulnerable. 4.1 out of 5 stars stars because, well, it made me cry. You're obsessed with company culture. You've got great core values. You've got the fun committee. Heck, you got a freaking slide installed in your office. The problem? Your culture is amazing, but your profit margins are crying for help. 3.2 out of 5 stars and rest in peace. Tony Hsieh.
