Show notes
Part of the Founder Foundations mini-series, this episode focuses on systemic management, the unglamorous work of building a functional org chart and management hierarchy as a company grows.
Steve talks candidly about management not coming naturally to him, the mistake of promoting a great individual performer into a role they don't actually want, and why leaning on people's strengths beats trying to fix their weaknesses.
Useful for founders who are scaling past doing everything themselves.
