When lack of structure fails, it fails all at once. What works totally fine from 0-20 employees, is disastrous at 30.

You also want to fire people who a) create office politics, and b) who are persistently negative.

You have to let your team get all the credit for all the good stuff that happens, and you take responsibility for the bad stuff.

The single word that matters most I think to keep the company productive as it grows is alignment.

If you look at successful pivots, they almost always are a pivot into something that the founder wanted. Not a random made up idea.

The best people know that they should join a rocketship.

Firing people is one of the worst parts of running a company. Actually in my own experience, I think it is the worst.
