Tony Hsieh Has Died

Sad news to start this week’s brainfood. Former Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh was ‘doing’ company culture before it was cool, and whatever we might now think about holocracy, the sight of a prominent tech entrepreneur persistently leading with company culture when talking about his business helped move the idea from the periphery to the centre of the work we now do. Some first hand testimony of Hsieh’s impact here, his connection of company and community here and his advocacy of happiness and mental health here - again, way before it was cool. RIP Tony Hsieh, who has passed away last week, age 46.
