A company’s energy comes from its culture

We spend our entire lives learning how to sense and properly influence it. Michal Liday is convinced that this is the only path to sustainable, long-term success and is far more powerful than focusing on cold efficiency through universal templates and rules. After all, a company is by nature much closer to a living being than a machine.
