Rule 10 - The one rule to rule them all

About our culture

This section is about the unmistakable culture that grows and evolves as the organization grows. We need to develop our own googliness, culture. Like pirates and memes and historic oil paintings. Embrace the chaos. Make the chaos work for you. Make yourself anti-fragile.

A nice article on the type of people we would like to connect to, is the following from the Correspondent: "Yes, it’s all the fault of Big Oil, Facebook and ‘the system’. But let’s talk about you this time."

• From Reeds, Netflix: “Foster a culture that values people over process, emphasize innovation over efficiency, have very little control”. The latter part can be expressed as: have a decentralized organization that enables anti-fragility and front-level decision making.

• 4 hours per week self-development or organizational development. Include teaching by older colleagues and mentorships. By making yourself better, you help the company. Don’t be too busy chopping wood instead of sharpening the axe. Develop and foster a culture of learning.

• Greed is eternal.

• Keep it weird.

• You cannot describe an organizational culture on paper.

• Strawberries. Lot’s of strawberries!
