Beaurocracy at all sizes

Large companies often have layers of beaurocracy designed to prevent any feeling being hurt, any responsibility being taken, or any brave decisions being made.

But the funny thing is?

You see it in some small companies too.

A few dozen employees, “pre-revenue”, and still bogged down with beaurocratic behavior, chest-beating, pedigree-laden hires, and a whole lot of wasted time and opportunity.

It’s not about the size.

It’s about whether or not you’re running with a group that reveres craft, care, and courage.

Or mere safety in numbers at the expense of everything else.
