But that story doesn't match reality. Again and again, companies founded with strong ideals drift toward short-term thinking, extractive behavior, and mission abandonment—often despite the best intentions of the people inside them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIncorruptible\u003c\/i\u003e argues that this failure is not primarily ethical. It is structural.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As organizations grow, the systems that govern them—ownership, incentives, charters, accountability, and decision-making—quietly reshape behavior. When those systems are poorly designed, even principled leaders are pushed toward outcomes they never wanted. Success itself becomes a form of financial gravity, bending companies away from their original purpose.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on two decades of work with founders, CEOs, investors, and institution builders, Ries shows how these failures arise predictably—and how they can be prevented. He reframes corporate governance not as bureaucracy or compliance, but as a creative and strategic act at the heart of building enduring, mission-controlled companies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e At a moment when trust in business is eroding, \u003ci\u003eIncorruptible\u003c\/i\u003e offers a clear-eyed diagnosis and a practical blueprint for change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSuccess alone will not protect what matters most.
