More Praise

He shows that humility, curiosity, and candor can serve as the connective tissue binding us to our mission, to one another, and to a sense of purpose larger than ourselves.” Tony Hsieh: “I’m excited to bring ‘co-elevation’ (as a new word, as a new book, and as a concept) to Zappos to help bring our culture and our business to the next level.”
