Creating a Culture of Happiness in the Workplace

Tony Shay created a culture of creativity at zapos. He offered each successful applicant two thousand dollars not to take the job. When people can be themselves that's when creative ideas come out. The strategy was wildly successful and within eight years, the turn over of zapos exceeded one billion dollars. But as the company grew, it was butting up against the eternal problem of hierarchy. How can big human groups get things done without big bosses calling all the shots? And once you start giving those bosses power, what will it do to the happiness the creativity of those compelled to follow orders? Tony sold the company for one point two billion dollars.
