Chip R. Bell, Author, Kaleidoscope: Delivering Innovative Service That Sparkles

The super cool feature of a kaleidoscope is not the charming images that take our breath away.  Or, the fact that, unlike a magnifying glass or set of binoculars, you get to actively engage with the kaleidoscope to create swoons and grins. It is the fact that the kaleidoscope has character.  The gems inside never change but are reflected through a series of mirrors.  You don’t open up a kaleidoscope to replace the gems.

How RingCentral Maintains Core Values During Rapid Growth

When Vlad Shmunis, RingCentral’s founder and CEO, brought me on to his team, he asked me to lead the company’s growth with larger customers and rally the organization to the next level. In startup mode, the team was very small, fast and intense. As a public company, he knew it would be important to pull together with onshore and offshore teams in the U.S., Europe, China, Russia, Ukraine and the Philippines. In short, we needed to scale the business, improve alignment, and change the way we work and communicate among a global workforce.
