My Notes from the LinkedIn Talk<\/p>\n

LinkedIn<\/b><\/p>\n

Before starting their product redesign they started with cultural change<\/p>\n

Consider the following guiding principles<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make your recruiters part of the team<\/li>\n
  2. Don’t use gimmicks to attract great talent<\/li>\n
  3. Build pride in the company’s brand<\/li>\n
  4. Hierarchy and rank are for the military (build a culture of spheres and influence)<\/li>\n
  5. Company values are more than a buzz term<\/li>\n
  6. Let the team promote rockstars<\/li>\n
  7. Quality matters and users notice the difference<\/li>\n
  8. Integrate with your product team<\/li>\n
  9. Don’t hire clones of yourself, diversity<\/li>\n
  10. Move people around, including managers<\/li>\n
  11. Promote learning teaching and sharing<\/li>\n
  12. Spotlight people’s personal interests (and skills)<\/li>\n
  13. Keeping a pulse on the trends in pulp culture<\/li>\n
  14. Make user experience a natural behavior<\/li>\n
  15. Ensure user experience has a seat at the table<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ratio<\/b><\/p>\n
