Incorruptible

Eric Ries

Why I recommend it

This examines how power changes people and what organizations can do to limit its abuse. It asks us to look beyond finding people with good intentions.

What it changed in my thinking

Integrity needs support: shared power, ordinary scrutiny, and fewer rewards for abusing authority.

Who it’s useful for

Founders, executives, board members, and anyone thinking about accountability.

A tension or limitation

Good rules help, but people still need the judgment and courage to act on them.
