Leadership for a growing business

Possible approaches to leading a startup faced with rapid growth:

  • Managing content: The most direct approach to getting things done is to do them yourself or to directly supervise those who do. 
  • Managing behaviors: you specify how people should behave; you identify the behaviors that lead to success and codify them as rules that employees are told to follow.
  • Managing results:  providing the resources, the training, and the motivation that people need to produce results.
  • Managing context:  you approach results more broadly by shaping the culture, values, and structure of the organization.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
