SECTION ONE
FIRST STEPS TO A CULTURE OF FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY

First build up talent density . . .

1 ▶ A Great Workplace Is Stunning Colleagues

Then increase candor . . .

2 ▶ Say What You Really Think (with Positive Intent)

Now begin removing controls . . .

3a ▶ Remove Vacation Policy

3b ▶ Remove Travel and Expense Approvals

This section demonstrates how a team or organization can begin to implement a culture of Freedom and Responsibility. These concepts build on one another. Although you may try implementing elements of each chapter in isolation, such an approach can be risky. Once you have built up talent density, you can safely address candor. Only then can you safely begin removing policies that control your staff.
