Discover how a founder's personality can impact the culture of a startup

In The Soul of Startups: The Untold Stories of How Founders Affect Culture, award-winning HR and diversity and inclusion professional Sophie Theen delivers an insightful and eye-opening discussion of the importance of culture in the vibrant and, sometimes, chaotic world of startup enterprise. In the book, you'll hear from a people management expert who has sat alongside those who launch exciting new ventures.

You'll also find:
* Unvarnished truths from people who have lived through the ups and downs of the startup experience
* Celebrations of the people who have worked for--and with--the celebrity CEOs to help them realize their vision
* Illuminating stories of the journeys of startup operators, including the good, the bad, and the ugly
