Drew Houston disagrees with you and Avery. Not just the TL;DR but in the critical details.
> Contrary to what the post suggests, HOM does not say not that the job of an executive is to wave some kind of magic culture or "values" wand and rubber-stamp whatever emergent strategy and behavior results from that. CEOs and executives absolutely do (and must) make important decisions of all kinds, break ties, and set general direction.
Notwithstanding that Drew is a billionaire who founded a billion dollar company and Tailscale has yet to crack a large valuation, Avery basically misinterpreted Andy Groves. That misinterpretation, "CEO as a passive referee whose job is to set the culture", is only sensible to people who've never managed a large group of people.
- ignoramous 5y agoMay be. I am in no position to argue with Drew or Avery for that matter. (:
