31. SO HOW DOES GIPHY
Scale culture
and empower employees
and keep innovating
while growing and making money?
32. But what if we
work at a
company, not a
commune?
33. YOU ARE A
COMMUNITY
People with shared goals
who depend on each other
for success
*These are “successful business people” according to Google.
34. SPOILER: IT’S HARD WORK
It’s not easy or free
It takes a lot of time and effort
And dedicated leadership
GIPHY’s not perfect
We make a lot of mistakes
But we iterate and move forward
35. ROLE OF LEADERSHIP
1. Set expectations & define
success
2. Hold people accountable
3. Empower teams & individuals
to own solutions
4. Provide support & guidance
37. HOW WE DID IT
1. Survey everyone
2. Leadership narrows down
3. Present to the company
4. Include in Employee Handbook
5. Share with candidates
6. Renew commitment 2x/year

4. It’s Not What We
Can’t Do, It’s What
We Can Do

61. IN CONCLUSION
Invest in culture
Treat people like people
Set expectations clearly and
Build trust
Give them ownership and
responsibility
And often they will drive success for
your product
*Plus you’ll have nicer days in this short life
