This book is a great service to the public
Google spent years (and $) gathering data to discover these people/work-related insights
and decided to give it away to the public
Thank you :)

What Laszlo talks abaout is amazing, but in spite of that he tried to engage the prof, the prof was not open to it, so there was no conversation, which would be even more interesting.

"So the idea here is that, if we can do more good for the world by sharing something, than by keeping it for ourselves - it's worth sharing." I think they should apply the same logic to their taxes?

Kris Gulati That's not their job - that's the job of the government.

+Konstantin Mihov We are the world and our own acts count - to follow the moral principle we have to start from our own actions - if you think that the government would be able to look after the ethic behavior of each and every company, you are living in fantasy land.

[@ryhuang7845]

+Kris Gulati I would like to add that if a company pays very different salaries to the workers, the statistics show, that it increases the competition which leads to the situation, that you are not willing to share your ideas with the others, since you do want to get the bonuses to your self - better for the company if you share your ideas, since it helps to develop them (not to mention the atmosphere in the company)

Outclassed Sandy I hate to say it...

[@robertpepper6184]

Hi will16320 (which, I hasten to add, isn't even a real name unless, as your profile picture suggests, you are a robotic snake). Unfortunately, you have entirely misunderstood Professor Pepper's role in the prestigious 'Work Rules! Insights from Inside Google that will transform how you live and lead' project. Far from engaging in a debate with the eminent speaker, Laszlo Bock, Pepper (BA, MSc, DBA, ESRC/FME) as the acting chair, was concerned with stimulating a thought-provoking forum for discussion, and arousing the kind of cross-interest dialogue which, I'm sure you will agree, it's central to such important and topical issues. In this role, he was doubtlessly effective and interesting. Plus, he could totally beat you in a fight, so don't go making the kind of statements you can't deliver on down a dark alley with four and a half pints of Stella Artois down your grubby throat. Yours sincerely, all his sons.

Just a shame they messed up his mic. so distorted.

[@davidjohnson4045]

Jeez, is it just me or is this host condescending? Few times in this interview, he made the conversation completely awkward for both Laszlo and people in the crowd.

[@urimtefiki226]

Put a sociopath in recruitment process and he will torture everyone making them ill, and you helping people that way.

booooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The professor is unprofessional, thinks he’s big time and it is actually quite embarrassing for all. I don’t understand why he’s interviewing if he didn’t have the intention to engage.
