See allEven though I was familiar with most of the topics through other mediums, the book was awesome! Easy to read, great balance between storytelling and concise advice. At the end, I've felt both joyful from reading a story, as well as full of action steps I could easily implement. The easygoing way great leaders and companies are presented is one to admire.
Probably the single most meaningful book about work relations I've read. Should be re-read yearly. Full of advice and great examples. Easy to read.
Even though people mention the book constantly, I've delayed it for some reason (probably I'm not into animation). But what a mistake that was!
Animation, Pixar's and Ed's history were used as a narrative to showcase different aspects of defining your company's culture. The great thing is the first hand experience, rather than the typical “a study says”. It feels extremely humane, more over with the constant reminding of what went wrong. People often praise their achievements, but rarely talk about failures.
A must reads for anyone who's into company culture, leading teams, managing leaders/projects/products, and even more needed for company owners. Would be helpful for the most “regular” person, looking for ways to make is work environment better.
Favourite quote: “Balance is more important than stability”
Another great one from Basecamp. I would even say one of the best out there - exact and without any bloat. A must read for every manager/owner of a business.
