🔹 “Your Culture Is Too Nice to Win”
If there’s no tension, there’s no traction.
High-growth companies aren’t built on harmony — they’re built on respectful conflict.
When teams can challenge ideas without ego, real progress happens fast.
When everyone’s trying to be “nice,” mediocrity creeps in.
You don’t need a toxic culture. But you do need one where truth is safe, feedback is fast, and speed beats politeness.
🔥 Growth comes from friction — not from comfort.
🔹 “You’re Not the Hero. You’re the Multiplier”
Early on, founders do everything. But if you’re still doing everything at Series A or B, you’re the bottleneck.
Your job as CEO is no longer to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to build the room — and make everyone in it better.
Great founders don’t just ship product. They build systems that scale people.
🌱 Founders build startups. CEOs build companies.
🔹 “Make Fewer Decisions. Make Better Ones”
If you’re making every decision, you’re slowing the whole company down.
At scale, the CEO’s job isn’t to be involved in everything — it’s to make the 5 decisions that truly shape the next chapter.
Let go. Delegate the right way. And when it’s your turn to decide, make it count.
🎯 Great CEOs choose leverage over control.
