Six themes for what I learnt about leadership in my last in-house role in a scaling business.

[Simon Wakeman @simonwakeman]

Growing a business is about the craft of building a company that's resilient, stable and enduring.

I added a bunch of new resources to my website this evening that are geared towards post-seed/series A founders and leaders. If you're looking for solutions to the issues that come with scaling, take a look at the B3 framework®. https://t.co/TQB8olVclX

I'm available to speak at a small number of tech, start-up & scale-up events in November and December. Topics include scaling post product/market fit, leadership in scale-ups, culture and team performance in post-seed and series A technology businesses. https://t.co/S0FptmDxDY.

“The B3 framework® has proven invaluable in helping guide our thinking and give structure to our actions.”

That's what one founder said about my framework for building brilliant growth businesses. See what he means by checking out the B3 framework®. https://t.co/TQB8olVclX

[Simon Wakeman @simonwakeman]

Making decisions fast is vital for scaling businesses, but they often lack tools, processes, and culture to do this effectively. Leaders need to define boundaries, set a shared decision-making process, and be conscious of the context of a decision made. https://t.co/Dvd7SQu7Gy

[Simon Wakeman @simonwakeman]

Learn about the difficulties encountered by business founders transitioning from a founder role to a CEO role in a tech growth business. In my experience this is something many founders fail to prepare for in advance. https://t.co/AuWBqfEhy1

[Simon Wakeman @simonwakeman]

It's time for your weekly reminder that I write an email newsletter that founders in seed and series A founders love. It's full of practical advice, contrarian thinking and tools to build resilient, sustainable technology growth businesses. https://t.co/3aiiGmFzDY

Unless you make software for prisons or factory farms, you have customers who are fascinating. So have your engineers talk to those customers to boost their motivation and engagement. Have them write feature designs, marketing material, FAQs, customer briefs....

Great stuff Tom. And thanks for sharing too. Bringing balls into the open (metaphorically speaking) is a good thing.

[Tom Willmot @tomwillmot]

Prompted me to check mine, thanks Simon!

[Simon Wakeman @simonwakeman]

@steveparks @simonrjones Thanks Steve, yes I know, every gram counts on the bike ;)

[Simon Wakeman @simonwakeman]

I had a ball removed yesterday for suspected testicular cancer. I was lucky. I want more men to check their balls regularly and talk about it.
