“When we were smaller, the DNA of the company simply flowed from me, since I could reach everyone. But when the organization passes a certain threshold, that’s no longer possible. VMCL was invaluable for me to create structures and concepts that allow 1000 employees to come together every day without a strong central control function.”
—TIEN TZUO, Zuora CEO
“Derek and Laura Cabrera have zeroed in on the most important aspects of building high-performing organizations to succeed in our VUCA world—Vision, Mission, Capacity, and Learning. Their work on how this construct can be used to drive organizational culture is a must read for leaders.”
