Trusting teams to make decisions leads to better outcomes than traditional command-and-control structures.

I believe in building a team that is densely connected and trusts each other, as this fosters better collaboration and understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses.

When investing, prioritize markets over teams, as a strong market can drive success even with a less competent team.

This approach fosters alignment within the team and leadership, produces better strategic framing due to diverse inputs, and results in a defensible output based on transparent selection criteria.

The smartest founders understand that a smaller team of highly skilled individuals is often more effective than a larger team of mediocre performers.

The selection of your team is crucial; it's impossible to be an effective leader without the right people in the right roles.

It's better to have an incomplete team than to have the wrong people in key positions; a founder should focus on their strengths and seek help for areas they are not proficient in.

Most decisions in a company should be made quickly by individuals or small teams, while one-way door decisions should be elevated to senior executives for careful consideration.

This is a team sport; nothing happens through the work of just an individual. We all do this together, whether in a startup or a big company.
