Why read it

  • You will question whether a person's flaws should disqualify them, using the idea that a fighter with blemishes is still a fighter
  • You will weigh the test the company applies: effort that creates no value does not earn the label of dedication
  • You will see how small teams sent abroad with almost no resources still delivered large projects by relying on themselves

Who it is for

  • A graduate considering a posting in a distant country
  • A manager curious how a global tech firm builds grit
  • A reader of company culture stories who wants real voices
