Publisher's Summary
Ben Horowitz, a leading venture capitalist, modern management expert, and New York Times bestselling author combines lessons both from history and modern organisational practice with practical and often surprising advice to help us build cultures that can weather both good and bad times.
The times and circumstances in which people were raised often shape them – yet a few leaders have managed to shape their times. In this follow-up to the bestselling business classic The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Ben Horowitz turns his attention to a question crucial to every organisation: How do you create and sustain the culture you want?
This book is a journey through cultures ancient to modern, spotlighting models of leadership and culture-building from the samurai to prison gangs. Along the way, it answers fundamental questions: Who are we? How do people talk about us when we’re not around? How do we treat our customers? Can we be trusted?
Because who you are is not the values you list on the wall. It’s not what you say in a company-wide meeting. It’s not your marketing campaign. It’s not even what you believe. Who you are is what you do. This book will help you do the things needed to become the kind of leader you want to be – and others want to follow.

Fabulous take on culture as the enabler.
An interesting addition to Ben's library, can't wait for his next installment.
Will definitely listen to over and over as the insights will have greater meaning on subsequent listen.

Brilliant book
I struggle think that anyone could listen to this and not take something away from it. I will likely listen to it once a year to remind myself.

Good message
Interesting book and easy to read.
My main feedback is the lack of female representation. All stories are around men, and to me, it makes it very difficult to connect.
A bit more effort in research can reveal hidden stories about amazing female leaders, and will open up a new market for the author.

What the title says is not what it is
This was dreadful book. I found the title to be misleading. If you want a history lesson on slavery and impersonations of “street talk” and offensive quotes, then you will probably find this read worth while. The last chapter was the most powerful…but the painful drawn out lessons in history to get there were not worth the wait.
