Giant Ideas (Giant Ventures) — Tommy Stadlen & Cameron McLain host Eric Ries: 'the best practices of modern corporate governance destroy value'

Giant Ideas — the podcast of Giant Ventures (Tommy Stadlen and Cameron McLain, purpose-driven VC firm) — releases a 26-minute conversation with Eric framed around a double mystery from Incorruptible: why successful companies get ruined, and why a handful avoid that fate. Eric argues the best practices of modern corporate governance destroy value, that a strong founder is not enough to protect a company, and reflects on what he'd change about The Lean Startup if he could.

“Eric wrote the book that taught a generation of founders how to build under uncertainty, and he has spent the years since trying to fix what happens to those companies once they grow. His new book, Incorruptible, is about a double mystery: why successful companies so often get ruined, and why a handful avoid that fate. Tommy Stadlen and Cameron McLain talk to Eric about why he thinks the best practices of modern corporate governance destroy value, why he believes a strong founder is not enough to protect a company, and what he'd change about The Lean Startup if he could go back.” — Giant Ideas podcast description
