This book talks about the startup ecosystem. It talks about spotting great people and hiring them at various stages of the company. It talks about creating a culture of engagement. It talks about how to create an environment where everyone can succeed. How do you manage performance , goal setting for growth ?

In a startup the working environment can be overwhelming , you tend to go with the first thing that comes into your mind without much deliberation. You may also lack the foresight. And this book provides thoughts about how to make those decisions quickly so that even if you want to roll back it doesn’t hurt the company's growth.

Startup means making quick decisions. If that were not then there would be no difference between a big company and a startup where you have to pass through a bureaucratic process for any major decision.

This is a nice book and full of wisdom.

This is a fabulous playbook on managing a high-growth organization. Wonderfully broken down. Great read.

As someone that has worked in People Operations in and around Bay Area startups for the last ten years, I cannot recommend this book enough. It outlines the common challenges that arise at different stages of a company, and provides realistic and practical advice about what to do - what works, what might not work, and how to know the difference.

If you work in People Ops, you’ll find yourself shouting “Yes!” over and over while reading this book. And if you’re a founder, you’ll see all of the things your People Ops team has always wanted to say to you, and hoped that you would understand.

Some of the key takeaways for me include acknowledging the cost of “good” ideas, prioritizing your time and programs, avoiding shiny objects, and recognizing the importance of nuance and context. What works in one organization won’t necessarily work in another, and when you’ve got limited time and bandwidth, you’ve got to dedicate your energy to the highest impact programs.

I hope that the insights in this book can help founders and People Ops folks understand each other and work together to navigate the tricky and vital period of an early-stage, high-growth startup.

Awesome tips for business owners and executives. This was very useful for me as I am currently in the stage of scaling at work.

Very solid information if you are starting and trying to build a new business. Especially if you are somewhat established and trying to get to that next level.
