Every new grad: read this. Then file it away and review it as soon as you have people reporting to you. This should be required reading for every start-up founder and every manager at every mid-size and large org, and every person who criticizes the decisions of those people or hopes to be in those positions. Which means every creative, every knowledge worker, engineer, designer, lawyer, physician, all of them. And therefore, almost without exception, everyone reading this comment.
Edit: This is the executive symmary. It contains a lot of what to do. Going forward, you don't need to know so much how Uber got into the mess they're in. You need to know how to stay out of similar messes. This is a good plan for how to stay out of such messes.
- djsumdog 9y agoWell, not this one. If we see the actual Holder report, that one maybe. This one .. just looks like a lot of frivolous non-sense bullshit.
- nl 9y agoThis is the recommendations of that report.
- bduerst 9y agoYeah, this is some free management consulting. While it's tailored to a very specific problem at Uber, it's still a set of good best practices to consider.
- killjoywashere 9y ago> free management consulting For additional context, I'm certain Holder's hourly rate would wreck most any start-up's budget! This is free good consulting.
- stupidcar 9y agoIt's also interesting for those looking for startup ideas. The procedures and practices recommended here are ways to reduce institutional maladies based mostly on human activity, but it's probable that many of them could be be achieved, or augmented, through technological solutions. Think about it: If you can build an innovative piece of tech that genuinely helps implement these policies, or achieve the same outcome in a different way, then you've got a huge market of large, rich organisations who'll be interested. Worth considering.
- hallmark 9y agoKapor Capital, investors in Uber, apparently also invest in "People Ops" startups. They're actively trying to feed a problem child into their own opportunities. Smart. https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/13/kapor-uber/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/13/kapor-uber/
