A veteran football coach once shared what the ideal halftime talk was in the locker room: 1. What went right in the first half 2. What went wrong 3. What we need to change 4. What we need to do to change it This is also the ideal framework for - daily huddles - weekly meetings - monthly financial reviews - quarterly strategy reviews - annual strategic planning It’s about getting better based on where we failed, and creating actions around what we learned

The biggest impediment to growth, is bureaucratic creep. So what do you do? In order to scale you NEED to create structure, responsibilities, and accountability. While this allows a divide and conquer among a united small team, it creates massive negative consequences of - coordination - complexity - "not my job" - communication and information availability So how do you fight this? The answer is simple to understand, and incredibly hard to execute. The reason a small team can "share" and just conquer is because that team trusts and respects each other. They execute on behalf of those whose responsibility it is. They try to do what they would do. They grab whatever needs to be done. They are united in purpose. The secret is complete trust and respect for each member. If you can scale and work on trust and respect... most of the other issues go away, and you can limit bureaucratic creep.
