This is the question I was asked recently by a student from Leeds University. Kaori Gunarathne has just gained a First Class Honours in a business management degree. She interviewed me alongside 11 other founders for her dissertation: “How Startup Founders Build High-Performance Teams Under Uncertainty”. The thing that really interested me about this exercise was that it forced me to reflect on how my leadership has evolved over the years. Not only has each successive start-up has grown faster, reached product/market fit quicker, and hit profitability more easily, the ventures have demanded fewer working hours from me. Or maybe I just manage my time better and invest more in people and resources. Click on the image below to read my Founders Blog this week.
