The Hidden Cost of Hypergrowth: Lessons from Salesforce, Oracle and Siebel with Steve Garnett #140

Some stories are told for inspiration, some for entertainment, but a very few become instruction manuals for the next generation. 

Today’s Extrology episode documents one such manual, written by a leader forged through experiences at Oracle, Salesforce and Siebel Systems - Steve Garnett.
