Any executive, any CEO should not have 1 management style. Your management style needs to be dictated by your employee.

The more you simplify, the better people will perform. People can not understand and keep track of a long complicated set of initiatives. So you have to distill it down to one, two, or three things and use a framework they can repeat, they can repeat without thinking about, they can repeat to their friends, they can repeat at night.

The people that work with you should generally come up with their own initiatives.

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

You can build the most important companies in history with a very simple to describe concept. You can market products in less than 50 characters. There is no reason why you can't build your company the same way. So force yourself to simplify every initiative, every product, every marketing, everything you do. Basically take out that red and start eliminating stuff.

You need to simplify the value proposition in the company's metrics for success on a whiteboard.
