Thanks for the info. I've added a response to your blog, and am restating it here for the benefit of other readers:

"No surprise in the demand for getting your books translated, they're good! :)

Thanks for posting on my blog about relooking at chapter 2 of growing great employees. I'll look it up in a few days.

I've always been fascinated by the thought of how a corporate culture takes shape and how it impacts the lives of the employees. And hope my actions (using your book and others) allows for a team culture to develop that enables the sum of the individuals to be greater than the headcount.
Working at Sun, I always heard nice stories on how a corporate culture needs to be based on trust eg the older days at Compaq.

There is a book i plan on reading up (as soon as my local book shop gets a copy), named "tribal leadership". It seems to have some interesting angles at how cultures develop etc. But first i need to read it! "

So glad you're finding Growing Great Employees useful!

I like your suggestions for establishing a more productive and vibrant culture. You might also want to re-look at Chapter 2 of my book, thinking about it through the frame of culture. I've found that establishing core competencies can be a powerful way to define the culture you want: you can then create that culture by building those competencies into hiring, development and promotion.

Warmly,

Erika
