Difficult balance to strike. It’s a truism that companies get more done with less meetings. But with startups, meetings forge a team and synchronize the direction of efforts, and lots of decisions need to be made and remade quickly. Too few meetings means paralysis or chaos.
Most startups would probably grow faster if they just held 80% less meetings.
Jaha det är inget å göra bara å gilla läget

Well, no. They are all human. Not a superpower in sight. They manage people at an exquisitely human level. And you can too.
If you think being a CEO involves anything other than managing people at a superhuman level you are sorely mistaken

Clearly, the productive frame is ”how do we increase BOTH the legitimacy AND the quality of decisions of a democratic systems?” It seems to me that populists prove legitimacy isn’t guaranteed by an election. It is similar to thinking the the outcome is guaranteed by the plan.

Me and my mum. I’m 5.
Our 5 year old seems to have deemed himself the local virus warden. Over the fence to our neighbour: ‘JEAN YOU NEED TO GO INSIDE’ ‘Okay I will in a minute’ ‘YOU’RE OLD AND THERE’S A VIRUS’ ‘I’m not that old thank you’ ‘HOW OLD ARE YOU JEAN?’ ‘I’m 68.’ ‘THAT IS NEARLY 70 JEAN.’

the human has been working from home the last couple days. and every so often. they let me participate in the video calls. all the other humans cheer when they see me. i am the only thing holding their company together
Wow. Whales want to play...
