You're either not hiring at all or it's probably your single biggest block of time.

Momentum and growth are the lifeblood of startups. This is probably in the top three secrets of executing well.

Most good founders that I know at any given time have a set of small overarching goals for the company that everybody in the company knows.

There are exceptions of course, but most companies start with a great idea - not a pivot.

The other piece besides focus for execution is intensity. Startups only work at a fairly intense level.

What you want to do is innovate on your product and your business model, management structure is not where I would try and innovate.

If someone is getting every decision wrong, that's when you need to act, and at that point it'll be painfully aware to everyone.
