Aggressively OK.

Google's Head of People (ie HR) gives insights into how Google's company culture has developed and best practices that have worked for them.

This is probably a decent read for an HR Manager. And to be fair, there were some nuggets for team leaders and non-HR managers in here as well.

It just wasn't as useful to me as it could have been. This may have been down to the fact that Google is a juggernaut and outlier in many respects. It would probably be prudent to asterisk any advice that comes out of there.

But at the same time, Google has done a lot of things right. They've also redefined the concept of the "workplace", so there is lots to learn from them.

As with any book, I guess the hard part was filtering the dross from the gems.
