Culture Through Crisis by Andre Limouris, President and CEO, Medix and Talentoday
Recommended by Megan Hinchy, Managing Director, Enterprise
“There are many reasons why I would recommend Culture Through Crisis. Andrew Limouris is the CEO of Medix, and a long-time friend of Bullhorn. Medix is an account that I have personally been working with since I started at Bullhorn over five years ago, and seen firsthand the impact of their culture. Andrew has created a team that cares so deeply about not only their work and what they do, but also each other. The book is a great read about why that matters. It’s not a book about how they grew their business (they did!), but how they continued to empower, collaborate, and keep focused on their core values during such a tough time. The personal anecdotes from different members of the Medix team shed light on how this family of coworkers built a culture that has demonstrated that they can get through just about anything together!” – Megan Hinchy
