10 Principles of Organizational Culture, Jon Katzenbach, Carolin Oelschlegal, James Thomas
How often have you heard somebody — a new CEO, a journalist, a management consultant, a leadership guru, a fellow employee — talk about the urgent need to change the culture? They want to make it world-class. To dispense with all the nonsense and negativity that annoys employees and stops good intentions from growing into progress.

People-Focused Engineering Culture, Photis Patriotis
“How are you hiring engineers? What can I do to hire someone with (XYZ) skill?” These are the types of questions I hear from virtually every new engineering manager or founder who is looking to make her first few hires.

Buckley Barlow, Do You Know The Most Important Question You Need To Answer Before You Try To Sell Anything?

Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard
The primary obstacle is a conflict that’s built into our brains, say Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed bestseller Made to Stick. Psychologists have discovered that our minds are ruled by two different systems—the rational mind and the emotional mind—that compete for control.
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
Dweck explains why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success—but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals—personal and professional.
Originals
Originals addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions.
