What you actually want to do with every single employee, every single day is expand the scope of their responsibilities until it breaks.

You want to start with the objective of everything should feel exactly the same.

The agenda should be crafted by the employee who reports to the manager not the manager.

I'd actually argue forging a company is far more harder than forging a product

At first when you start a company, everything's gonna feel like a mess and it really should. It should feel like everyday there's a new problem, and what you're doing is fundamentally triaging.

Where there are low consequences and you have very low confidence in your own opinion, you should absolutely delegate.

Don't accept the excuse of complexity.
