A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting the Signal Snowboard team when they came for a tour of Zappos. I was truly amazed by their laid back but professional attitude. Signal Snowboards started up in 2004 over a bottle of wine and an idea to recreate the traditional snowboard company. Dave Lee and Marc Wierenga co-founded the company with the idea that it would be more about art and passion, rather than just cranking out boards to turn a profit.

As a manager, does a good day look like a lot of faces glued to glowing monitors? Do you run a high-performing team? Is that performance driven by the fear of a strict boss, or by a connected and motivated team that works together to get the job done? Is your team working as much and as wisely as they can?

Hagie Manufacturing wins the Community Catalyst Award for 2011 after they made significant cultural changes within their organization after attending the Zappos Insights bootcamp. This goes to show change is possible and people will notice. Congratulations Hagie, we are so proud!
"In AllPopArt's corporate culture there has been a before and after since we discovered Zappos. Lack of culture is the problem, but it is sometimes covered by smaller symptoms such as fear of change and problematic employees... and you can keep on fixing these little problems but new ones will arise because there are no values or culture for the company to grow solid on. Zappos provided us with the medicine. Now we are proud to grow healthy and strong, with a clear mission and a group of people that believe in it."
