Bringing a culture back from the brink, w/Uber's Dara Khosrowshahi

from Masters of Scale

Early-stage startups are a lot like pirate ships – they need a buccaneering spirit to survive.

As the new CEO of Uber, Dara Khosrowshahi took on the most extreme pirate-to-navy transition in startup history.

Truth-telling and doing the right thing. Cameo appearances: Arianna Huffington (Thrive Global) and Ben Chestnut (Mailchimp).Read a transcript of this interview at: https://mastersofscale.com/dara-khosrowshahi-how-pirates-become-the-navy/Subscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
