Michael Sliwinski (Founder, Nozbe) — 'This brilliant book by Eric Ries… one of the best books of this year to me personally'
Michael Sliwinski — founder of the productivity app Nozbe (running since 2007) — is halfway through Incorruptible and applying its framework to his own company in real time. His conclusion after listening: 'founder mode' isn't enough to keep a company aligned; you need structural protection against the gravity of aggressive capitalism.
“I'm in the middle of this brilliant book by Eric Ries and I love it. I've tried to make Nozbe incorruptible by now I know my "founder mode" approach is not enough. It's amazing to discover how to align your business, profits and incentives to make sure your company will always choose the correct path and never sway by the "gravity" of "aggressive capitalism" that only "maximizes shareholder value". It's a great read - I encourage you to check it out. One of the best books of this year to me personally. And I haven't finished it yet…” — Michael Sliwinski on LinkedIn
