Why Good Companies Go Bad — Eric Ries and Reid Hoffman

Eric and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman sit down for a candid conversation on The Eric Ries Show about which companies are failing under the pressures of success and scale — and the surprising tactics of companies that are withstanding that pressure and upholding their original missions. Hoffman, who endorsed the book as 'a must-read for anyone who recognizes the importance of trustworthy and enduring institutions for a thriving democracy,' brings his own experience building and investing in some of the world's most influential companies to the discussion.

“Corruption in modern organizations isn't primarily caused by bad people or moral collapse. It's the predictable result of organizations that were never designed to withstand success, scale, or financial pressure.” — The Eric Ries Show
