What You Do is Who you Are: How to Create your Business Culture – Ben Horowitz, 2019

Focus on organisational culture has significantly ramped up in the last ten years. As a seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneur and investor, Ben Horowitz has learned a thing or two about culture, and how it can make or break a group, team, or organisation. 

 

Using contemporary and historical examples, this is a great analysis of culture, and its criticality to any group endeavour. One thing is clear. Culture is set by the behaviours of its leaders, and unless continuously nurtured, it will play out in unexpected, and not necessarily beneficial ways.

 

An excellent reminder of the criticality of culture for any organisation looking to future-proof.
