Building a company is basically taking all the irrational people you know... Putting them in one building and then living with them 12 hrs a day at least.

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

Most people will solve the problems they know how to solve. Roughly speaking they will solve B+ problems instead of A+ problems. A+ problems are high impact problems for your company but they're difficult problems.

You should have a 1-on-1 roughly every 2 weeks.

The office environment that people live in and work in, dictates your culture and how people make decisions.

The construct of a dashboard, first of all should be drafted by the founder.

If people start going to a desk, some one individual employees desk and they don't report to them... it's a sign that they believe that person can help them. So if you see that consistently, those are your barrels. Just promote them, give them more opportunity as fast as you can.
