Are you all about speed or making real progress? The quote hits the nail on the head. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in building something quickly, but is it the right thing to build? Startups and product leaders, take note! Prioritize problem-solving to ensure you're building a product that truly solves your target audience's needs. Focus on quality over speed. Velocity is valuable, but only when it propels you closer to your destination. #productmanagement #startups #problemsolving #innovation #strategicthinking #leadership #businessyogi #velocity #audience

If you’re a CEO, company leader, or founder of a startup, remember this: An employee who works without understanding your vision for the company’s future is like a runner in a race who doesn’t know where the finish line is. „How Act Like a CEO“ #CEO #softskills #leaders #founder #startup

CEO's if you have a CTO, CDO, or any other Tech Leader who allows anyone in their department to ever ask anyone in the business "What is your requirement?". Replace them. They should present to you the options, benefits and costs, so you then decide. And if all their options are outside your budget. Sack them again. They need to work inside your budget and innovate amap. It's that simple. #CEO #leadership #CTO #consulting #startups #businessperformance

Startups need a different kind of consulting to correctly make the decisions that can change the trajectory of their company for the better. Larger consultancies lack the experience necessary to help startups build the team, technology, and processes that allow them to launch, scale, and exit. They charge an arm, leg, and torso just to recite platitudes that work for their corporate clients. We're not afraid of jumping into the trenches to guide your team. In fact, we've know that's the best way to guide a team successfully. You don't need 'thought leaders' that bill at $1200/hour, you need someone who has done this before and can do it again. So, let's do it. #Startups #Consulting #NoConsulting #TeamTransformation #Leadership

You Manage The System — Not People We often overlook the problems in the system (including processes, strategy, resources, ..) and push it onto the team when we fall short. Modern product development teams place a strong emphasis on hiring the "right" people. Why? Because once you have the right team, the focus is on one variable — *System*. This not only helps in getting the full potential of the team but also helps find deeper, and often recurring, problems. #leadership #startups #productdevelopment

Startups don’t fail because of a lack of ideas; they fail when people and culture aren’t priorities. Simon Sinek’s 'Leaders Eat Last' is a great reminder that success starts with trust, safety, and collaboration. In the fast-paced world of startups and scale-ups, it’s easy to focus on results and forget the people driving them. One of the book’s key ideas, the 'Circle of Safety,' really stands out: when leaders create an environment where people feel valued and secure, teams perform better, take risks, and innovate. Without that foundation, fear and mistrust can hold everything back. For startups, this raises some important questions: 👉 Are you building a culture where your team feels safe to share ideas and take risks? 👉 Do your people trust you - and each other - to have their backs? As leaders, our job isn’t just to deliver results; it’s to serve the people who make those results possible. If you’re scaling a business, think about this: Are you creating a space where people want to do their best work? #Leadership #StartupCulture #ScaleUps #SimonSinek

As founders we often imagine that we have to personally know all the answers, or at least understand everything in order to do our jobs. The result is a temptation to be the smartest person in the room, surround ourselves with people who know less than we do, and get defensive or self-conscious when others know more than us. It took a while for me to learn that I'm never smarter than when I'm part of a really good team. https://ow.ly/Q1Vr50Rgmvs #fractionalcto #cto #leadership #talent #startup #startupsuccess #startupfounder #ThankYouThursday
