About Management Culture:
- You get personal leverage through delegation and empowerment, along with inspection
- Hiring defines a company. Review every job offer every time.
- Manager (or teams reporting to a manager) should never have the unilateral authority to hire people.
- Major decisions should be made in large groups, by two joint owners.
- Be careful about goal-misalignment; goaling drives behavior and conflict.
