Slightly Smarter newsletter on Incorruptible: 'the design work that decides whether a mission survives its own success'

Johnson co-founded the Slightly Smarter newsletter and reviewed Incorruptible there on publication day, having read an uncorrected proof months earlier. He takes from it that drift is the default for anything that grows and that governance is where a company's protection has to be built; his editor's note calls the book a manual for anyone building something worth protecting.

“Ries reframes corporate governance not as bureaucracy or a compliance chore, but as a creative and strategic act. Done right, it's the design work that decides whether a mission survives its own success.” — Scott on Slightly Smarter
