Catch and fix problems early. Any good leader knows you need to fix problems when they’re small. They’re less expensive and easier to fix then. No one’s feelings get hurt. And the fix is much easier than if it’s snowballed.
When it comes to culture as a company grows, this is especially important. Culture is like concrete. When it is first laid out, it is malleable and can take many shapes. However, after some time, it will harden and then it’s very hard to change. By the time you have 100s or 1,000s of employees, it’s too late. You have the culture you’re going to have, for better or worse. So, how are you mixing your concrete?
