Agree that culture is more important than strategy or

operating model

“Mission. Transparency. Voice. These three components of our culture create a virtuous cycle of attraction, community, engagement, and innovation. If you give people freedom, they will amaze you. They'll do remarkable things, and all you need to do is give them a little infrastructure and a lot of room to change the world. And I think that holds in any industry." - Laszlo Bock Google’s SVP of People Operations
