What You Do Is Who You Are

Book • 2019

In this book, Ben Horowitz combines lessons from history and modern organizational practice to help executives build cultures that can endure both good and bad times.

He highlights four models of leadership and culture-building: Toussaint Louverture, the Samurai, Genghis Khan, and Shaka Senghor.

Horowitz connects these historical examples to modern case studies, including leaders from Netflix, Uber, and McDonald's, to provide practical advice on creating and sustaining a purposeful company culture.
