Braden Kelley — 'Is it Possible to be Incorruptible?' Exclusive Interview with Eric Ries

Braden Kelley — LinkedIn Top Voice, keynote speaker, and futurist behind a 17,000+ subscriber innovation newsletter — publishes an 11-question exclusive Q&A with Eric on Incorruptible, covering the physics of organizations, financial gravity vs magnetic alignment, constitutional governance vs super-voting shares, why mission primacy is the successor to shareholder primacy, and why two-entity structures (Novo Nordisk / Patagonia / Tony's Chocolonely) are the most stable corporate form.

“I believe that the era of shareholder primacy is actually already over, for two reasons. One is, this is an idea that has proved to be self-defeating. It was originally enacted — not in ancient times, but in the 1980s, at least in Delaware — to be beneficial to shareholders, but that is not how it has proved.” — Eric Ries, quoted in Braden Kelley interview
