The team you build is the company you build.

It's easy to shortcut when you get busy explaining the why's of the world, but it's very important to try.

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

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

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 next thing you do is allocate resources.

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