Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad…
and How Great Companies Stay Great
Available for pre-order at incorruptible.co
I’m excited to share some early coverage of Incorruptible. I really enjoyed the conversation for this piece in the Financial Times. Journalist Andrew Hill did a great job covering the book and also hit on some of the key themes of my entire career. As he puts it:
"Ries says people have more than once warned him he is wasting his time. But sometimes you shift an apparently immovable boulder, he says. 'The next thing you know, it’s an avalanche.'"
