Excited to share I've been accepted into the @MavenHQ Course Accelerator. I’ll be joining a community of fellow experts to turn everything I know into a transformational cohort-based course on Maven. #MVN7

@sarahsiders Career pages of companies look similar because of the list of free stuff. Full of free snacks and drinks.

Founders get more busy fixing the day-to-day operational challenges.

As a result, founders don’t work on building a cohesive top management team.

Growth becomes slow and finally stops.

That's unfortunate.

But, it's avoidable.

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

This should be a priority of the founder of a fast-growth company to maintain the growth.

What's that priority?

Building a cohesive top management team (TMT)

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

Two reasons why founders find it challenging to build a cohesive top management team:

1. Founders don’t have the knowledge or experience for building a cohesive team

2. Founders get busy running the day-to-day operations

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

It’s not true.

Management systems and processes don’t create bureaucracy. The way the companies use these systems creates bureaucracy.

To deliver on their promises to customers, fast-growth companies need management systems.

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

Management systems are detrimental to fast-growth companies and innovation.

Management systems are often equated to the bureaucracy that kills the entrepreneurial spirit.

Is this true? 🤔⬇️

@Shane___Martin A change in the aim is making a big difference.

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

@SahilBloom Great point.

Focus on the process - > habits and systems to reach the outcome. Momentum follows.

@dickiebush Just publish the first post on Twitter or LinkedIn even if the post is just one line. Shipping mindset and consistency are most important in online writing.

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

What kind of founder can scale their business?

A founder who can change habits that are not useful now and acquire new habits/skills to meet the current challenges.

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

Many founders of growing companies struggle to adapt their leadership capabilities to meet their growing business needs.

A common challenge I've seen while working with founders for scaling a startup.

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

What's the first step to solving this leadership challenge?

Founders should take a step back and admit that their old ways no longer work. They'll become more open to new ideas and new ways of working.

[Sukesh Das @sukeshdas]

Learning about customers is a critical factor that influences the growth of scaleup. It's a never-ending process.

How do you collect relevant data about your customers and process them for:

1. Improving your service/product offering
2. Increasing current customer satisfaction
