Why? If this is a real insight of the need for leadership style change why you still need signs in your car and tattoo to remind you of your decisions? For me, it's highly unlikely that Dogfish made such change without significant internal or external pressure. Everyone is super happy and supportive and yadda-yadda, but we need to change. Dogfish is doing very well and keeps innovation, at the same time, best-selling beers have been around for the decade. But why? 20 years of running a successful business using "I'm majority stakeholder, and you do that I tell" and suddenly - "We need to change" with no hint of why. After 20 years there is understanding that Sam's management style needs to change.

Although, I got something very different.įirst, it failed my "one hour test." If nothing interesting happens after one hour of reading it does not deserve any more of my time.
