Today, our lead articles talk about team and company culture. First, Gil Zilberfeld talks about the copy-paste strategy. The idea is that what works for Spotify may not work for you because you have a different team and a different culture. On paperplanes, they talk about why hiring based on culture-fit may be a bad idea. You could be avoiding diversity in your team, but more importantly, you could be ignoring the fact that your culture is broken.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
