HBS Professor Tatiana Sandino: 'I can't recommend the chat and the book highly enough'

Sandino teaches at Harvard Business School, where Eric joined her Systems for Scaling Ventures class. Her LinkedIn post recommends both the book and the free fireside chat scheduled on it, and reads the book's case as a structural one: governance too weak to hold a mission, with ownership and incentives reshaping behaviour as an organisation grows.

“Eric Ries will host a free fireside chat on Wednesday on his excellent upcoming book, 💥 Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad... and How Great Companies Stay Great. 💥 He recently joined our Systems for Scaling Ventures class at Harvard Business School, and I can't recommend the chat and the book highly enough! The book makes a compelling case that companies often abandon their missions not because their leaders are unethical, but because their governance structures are weak. As organizations grow, the systems that govern them (ownership, incentives, etc.) can unintentionally reshape behavior, often pushing even principled leaders toward outcomes they never wanted.” — Tatiana Sandino on LinkedIn
