In Sports or Business, Always Prepare for the Next Play; New York Times, 11/10/12

Adam Bryant, Corner Office, New York Times; In Sports or Business, Always Prepare for the Next Play: Interview with Jeff Weiner, chief executive of LinkedIn: "Q. Tell me about the culture you’re trying to foster at LinkedIn. A. We take culture very seriously, and we do draw a distinction at LinkedIn between culture and values. Culture is who we are. It’s essentially the personality of our company — who we are and who we aspire to be. Values are the principles upon which we make day-to-day decisions. And of course your values are a subset of your culture, so they’re very much inextricably linked. Getting that right helps with recruiting. It helps with motivating. It helps with inspiring. It helps with productivity."
