All this talk of culture got me thinking of Zappos and all the great things that Tony Hsieh & his team are doing there. Although Zappos is equally serious about their culture, it's interesting that it seems very different from Bridgewater's - or is it? Both are incredibly successful, quirky companies run by very strong leaders with a lot of charisma, totally dedicated to their principles, companies and corporate culture. Comparing the cultures of these companies would be very interesting - maybe something for a journalist or blogger?


It's almost like comparing countries.

Some are dictatorships, others are free and more democratic.


Heh :) They seem like each other's opposites but both are incredibly successful and liked by their respective employees. Maybe the truth about great corporate cultures is finding people who believe in your principles above anything else no matter how crazy they might seem?
