More from Walter Driver

Make your company a learning machine
If you learn faster than any other company in your industry, chances are you will come out ahead over time because that knowledge will compound. In that kind of culture, it's less about the specific tactics and more about the mentality to fail fast and keep learning and improving.
How to create an agile culture
Get your people comfortable with messiness, ambiguity, and forward propulsion. These are the key ingredients if you want to create a culture that's agile and prioritizes learning and rapid iteration.
Let the concept of vision be collective
The idea of the “solitary visionary” leading a company is overrated. Create space for everyone to shape the vision, so people will own it and execute it.
Manage your ego (or else)
When your company is doing well, it’s easy to get a big head. But if you don’t keep your ego in check, it can wreak havoc with your relationships and decision-making.
