Rigor and Discipline: Discipline, rhythm and most of all keeping the culture intact is key to sustaining a growing company, especially in an environment of great opportunity and talent drain. Documenting the processes to ensure everyone is aligned around not only the mission but the operations is key - this communication and agreement is key to picking the tools and designing the incentives needed to scale. Otherwise it is all in individuals heads which slows stops progress
Teams and Culture: Founders need to think about the organisation they want, and as importantly the communications infrastructure that goes with it. How do employees get insights into what is working/not. In addition, if you don't have a great onboarding process and think about retaining top talent, all the hiring efforts will not make a difference.
This is all being made more complex as building the hybrid organisation requires new ways to build trust and share information . Quiet quitting is becoming a major issue for leaders to tackle - the current environment is more unpredictable than ever.
