Introduction
I Detest Bureaucracy
• It ay e that Apple’s stutue is atually uite siple, ith elatiely fe layes ad a
great deal of responsibility placed on each individual for his or her own outcomes.

conventional strictures of a CEO to create a culture of constant innovation.
• Greg Strakosch, founder and CEO of interactive media company TechTarget, hates
bureaucracy.
• 64 So he has created a workplace where his 600 employees are free to come and go as
they please.
• There are no set policies mandating working hours or detailing sick, personal, or
vacation days.
• Employees are free to take as much vacation as they want and to work the hours when
they are most productive—ee if it’s etee idight ad 4 a.. If you eed a day
off to take your kid to camp?
• No problem.
• “takosh says ideas like settig a speifi ue of sik days stike e as aitay
ad du.
• He trusts his employees to act responsibly.
• “takosh is uik to state that this is’t a outy lu.
• A painstaking hiring process is designed to weed out all but the most autonomous.
• Managers set ambitious quarterly goals, and employees are given plenty of
independence to achieve them.
• However, there is little tolerance for failure.

• Employees are fired for underachieving.
