FEEDBACK CULTURE

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

This founder discovered that culture is just three things - who you fire, promote, and hire. Everything else is corporate theater. At his startup, every piece of feedback connects to a cultural value that directly affects those decisions. No vague annual reviews. He gave feedback 50+ times last year, mostly positive, always tied to specific behaviors. When promotions depend on documented cultural values, not politics, people actually start living them.
