Hsieh
With the tragic and untimely death in a house fire of Tony Hsieh, founder of Zappos, the world has lost a great entrepreneur, maverick leader and generous philanthropist. I have used Hsieh as a sustainability leadership case study for many years, because he challenges conventional wisdom. He was a billionaire who lived in an Airstream trailer in Las Vegas with a pet lama named Marley, dog Blizzy and four chickens. He was a humble leader who promoted self-leadership with his concept of holacracy, or self-organization. Something he said will always stay with me: “I prioritise experiences over things”. RIP.
