Execution is the #1 factor in building a startup team

Why would someone give their time for free when you waste it?

Forget vision. Execution is the #1 factor in building a startup team.

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

  • Big projects that move forward fast. It’s your job as a founder to do the grunt work and get the obstacles out of the way.
  • Superstar team that loves working together. Make new team members jump through hoops before you let them join. Get rid of people who aren’t perfect.
  • Less talking. Meetings kill momentum, get rid of every meeting you can. For when you do meetings, check out this video by Google Ventures.

FAILURE LOOKS LIKE:

  • Founders that are late to team meetings.
  • Hierarchy.
  • Decisions that take forever to make.
