They are not the only company to create great environment for their people. Some say that it takes great managers to keep people passionate and loyal about their company. I doubt that is the case. Without great corporate culture and leadership, other "ingredients" are simply worthless. I hope more and more leaders see this and introspect about their own organizations. I had an article I wrote about my own experience with great companies, research I have read, and great companies I follow. I wrote about some common "ingredients" in that recipe.

An amazing success story that can rekindle faith in big corporations. They don't have to be impersonal or purely profit-focused to the point of excluding all else. They can actually have a soul and a heart while still making money, and lots of it. It's a story we should read to little entrepreneurs around the corporate campfire. Very interesting, Justin.

I especially appreciate the information you provided on the Zappos.com 2008 Culture book and how over 460 pages are devoted to what employees have to say and think about the company's culture. Too often an organization tries to dictate culture by saying, "This is who we want to be and this is how our employees should act." Instead, it appears that the Zappos employees are building their culture naturally and successfully for the business. Now that's what I call real culture! <abbr><em>Deirdre’s last blog post..<a href="http://deirdrebreakenridge.com/2009/02/pr-20-reputation-mending/" rel="nofollow">PR 2.0 Reputation Mending</a></abbr></em> Justin, great post.
