A very good inspiring read - What we learned in studying the most effective founders
Crux is "manage the work, and make time to stay ahead of their industry"
- Treat people like volunteers - Pick things based on priority / issues / challenges, Not to be managed but enable them to pick
- Protect the team from distractions - Focus on key things
- Minimize unnecessary micromanagement - Focus on deliverable not on timely reports
- Invite disagreement - Get to hear all concerns, relook and sort out differences than letting it boil
Things to Practice from the list
- Described the impact of the work to the team
- Intellectual challenge / passion / financial wallet
- Communicate carefully, and check if employees understand correctly
- Post-mortem discussion or a note of gratitude to collaborators
- Autonomy and trusting the team to pull you in as necessary
- Collaboration required is high
- Set the destination, but have them lay out the path
- We need to achieve these 5 things this week/month/quarter. Figure out what sequence makes sense
- Have honest, no-ego conversations
- Interview Confidence ≠ competence
Keep Thinking!!!!
