Identify if you have a team, or if you are building one from scratch.

If you have a team, your company size and what is your immediate and future vision.

In the simplest terms, establish

Competencies. What is the set of competencies in your team your “engine” cannot do without?

Prioritize.

There’s opportunity cost at every step. Better come to terms with limitations early than be

disappointed!

It’s important to chose specific attributes where you excel, and focus on being the best

at specifically those.

Prioritize.

Core. Vertical First.We try to grow our most important competencies, and involve them full time, strongly bound.

This achieves:

Diversity . Depth . Richness . Quantity

MASS

Horizontal. Second.We try to minimize cost, especially of complexity by creating loosely bound ad hoc teams to run fragmented tasks across a larger landscape.

Sometimes the teams are just the founders, working harder, contributing bonus value to the company, playing multiple roles in addition to main jobs.

This achieves:

More Uniform Quality . Simplicity . Reliability . Affordability . Speed . Networking . Growth

VELOCITY

MASS X VELOCITY

Analogous to:

Natural Growth. Some of our core members have been the early adopters, converted into team

members after consistent participation.

Higher Motivation . Larger Goals . Diverse Scope. More Talent

Hiring & Recruiting

Undershoot. It’s better to undershoot and hire less extra hand, hire a vendor than to worry about additional payment, management and social

overhead of “mid levels.”

Don’t add redundancy.

TEAMS Motivating&Sustaining

Motivation & Incentive. Startups such as ours usually begin with very low capital. Often it rolls

quite well before the need occurs to gather investments.

During this time, the founders typically work with very small number of team members who are

integral to the foundation and momentum needed to execute your vision.

MOTIVATING YOUR TEAM

Pull your team, not push. If you are a chef starting up a kitchen, you better be good. You need

to continue to strive to excel.

What have you done lately, to inspire *your* team?

INSPIRE.


You are a startup. Not a multinational. It’s okay (and entirely feasible) to find out strengths and

weaknesses on and off of work of your core team.

Anticipating, supporting s&w of your teammates will allow them to build trust, and share your vision.

LEARN.BOND.


There will be disagreements, clash of authority and difficulty in decision making. You don’t have a Board

of Investors to make one for you.

Identify and clarify one thing most important to you very early. Trust your team, and don’t fight

everything; it’s good to let go.

MANAGE CONFLICT


Keep a bargaining chip handy.

MANAGE CONFLICT


Each member has is in it for a different reason. The revenue flow isn’t solid, so whether it’s for

experience, for the thrills or dreams, they are there to meet their own goals.

Understand what they are. Return Value the best way possible.

REWARD

LET YOUR TEAM REACH THEIR OWN GOALS


Startups are all about change. Many of the leading companies in the world set out to make completely

different products than they sell today.

Teams can change too, be open and flexible on matters of preference. Show respect and gratitude

when due.

TEAMS Supporting Growth

Continuous Growth. If momentum is the most important thing for a startup, then growth is

essential in driving it.

Teams need to continuously grow in both Quantity and Quality
