@nickrw 🤯 Really sorry to hear that @nickrw - you'll have no problem finding a new gig but let me know if you'd like me to message my networks. Definitely Twitter's loss.

As a leader, how can you
- Make a major, singular impact
- Truly empower team members
- Grow them with “stretch tasks”
- Create flow for self & others
- Avoid burnout

Answer: Radical Delegation

(note: not for everyone, but game-changing for leaders & teams who are ready for it)

5 signs you might just be the _perfect_ Founding Data Scientist at @teamlollipopAI 💛💛💛

Let's start with the most surprising reason: 🧵 👇

[Tom Foster-Carter @scaleupdad]

@michaelecolley @bolt Love this! FWIW I would love to build a startup that is 4 days / week + see my kids more providing we can still be really successful. OOI did you accelerate your tech skills by doing personal dev on your day off?

[Tom Foster-Carter @scaleupdad]

I believe this is the future but it will be incredibly hard for startups. Anyone know any that have achieved this other than @bolt?

[Metro @MetroUK]

A six-month trial of the four-day working week has been launched across the UK, with around 30 British companies expected to take part.

Staff won't see any change to their pay either.

[Tom Foster-Carter @scaleupdad]

@peregrine_coast @bolt The best startups have high (not unrealistic) expectations of their teams because you need to build something that doesn't exist, solving v hard problems often in a rapidly evolving space + beat the 95% startup failure rate. It's a lot to ask in a working week of any length.🙂

[Tom Foster-Carter @scaleupdad]

As part of our commitment to "working in plain sight" and "leaving it better" we've published our paybands publicly and shared exact C-level salaries internally. Let us know if you support the move or if you've been on this journey and have any advice. #GenderPayGap

[Cherrypick | Plan | Shop | Cook @wearecherrypick]

💰 We're working in 'plain sight' at Lollipop, this includes salaries.

Here's a blog from our Co-founder Chris Parsons about why and how we've made this step 👣

What do you think of this approach? Have we got it right or could we improve it?

[Ryan Breslow @ryanbreslow]

At Bolt we grew from $400M to $4B in the last 10 months.

That's a 10x in 10 months.

This wasn’t an accident, but it also wasn’t a given.

The shift? We started making EVERY day count.

What exactly does that mean?

Let's break it down 👇👇👇

[Dan Bladen @danbladen]

This is not something I have shared publicly before, but here goes!

This is a story all about how the company we founded 8 years ago was re-birthed during the pandemic.

How we turned a Hardware co. into a SaaS co.
How revenue went to $0..
To now having over 130 B2B customers
