I reported directly to Cory for a spell when I worked at Facebook. His management skills and guidance made a big impression on my newly-started career and he was undoubtedly one of the most talented managers I reported to at the company. Right now I'm working at a 10-person company and a few of his points really stood out to me: > Describe culture in ways that make people think and debate rather than universally agree. Very subtle and probably pretty important. Facebook's cultural values were constantly under debate and if nothing else it made every employee consider them. > We gathered together for end-of-week whiteboard sessions where we listed our most critical open tasks. This is a neat idea. We do high-level daily syncs here, but this might be a neat way to help build accountability and inspire more collaboration on tasks.
