Unrelenting optimism and growing pains are the eternal struggles of a fast-growing business. 📈 Ambitious dreams are inspiring, but sometimes there is a lack of structure, or the resources to make them come true. Though well-meaning, it sends the wrong signals. There are downsides to unique roles and family culture; it's difficult to cover for each other, and layoffs can come in waves as friends leave in groups. 😳
The responsibility for competence development lies mostly with our employees. We get some freedom and time, but few have the insight to identify their shortcomings or the drive to work on them. Time is rather spent with small talk, sending the wrong signals to our colleagues.
