Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google That Will Transform How You Live and Lead by Laszlo Bock
Google is not as unusual or hard to understand as people think – this book clearly shows that a unique philosophy, creativity, and lots of hard work prevail. Tons of fantastic examples which other companies can use, and a very good explanation of how to experiment and use analytics to create great people strategies.
I particularly found the discussions of people philosophy and the concepts of “nudges” powerful in today’s business climate. Rather than tell people what to do (or not to do), Google has learned to “encourage” the right behavior without getting in people’s space. And with such an intelligent and outspoken workforce, this alone is an amazing feat.
It’s easy to dismiss Google as a company that makes a lot of money, so they can get away with anything. This book clearly shows that Google’s success is BECAUSE of the way they recruit and treat people. While the company definitely focuses on engineering and intelligence as criteria for hiring, I think it shows how the work environment (and it’s far more than the on-site bowling alley) that really makes Google successful.
I found the book inspiring and very complimentary to research we have done in many other industries. Hats off to Laszlo for a very educational and important book for HR and business leaders in every industry!
