VC Ben Horowitz on WeWork, Uber and one cultural value his employees can’t break

Ben Horowitz,  the co-founder of the venture firm Andreessen Horowitz, has a new book coming out this coming Monday titled “What You Do Is Who You Are,” which takes a look at how to create “culture” at a company.

It’s a word that’s thrown around a lot but that’s very hard to grasp, let alone implement in a sustainable way. Horowitz learned firsthand as a CEO how elusive it can be when he took stock of his company, only to discover it was made up of “screamers who intimidated their people,” others who “neglected to give any feedback” and at least one compulsive liar who excelled at sucking up to Horowitz and also making up stories from whole cloth.
