28 Entrepreneurs Share Their CEO Nugget

While my Co-Founder and I did a lot of things right, where we faltered was in failing to clearly delineate roles, especially early on. We kind of handled things as they arose, without clear areas of responsibility. That sort of ad-hoc system worked well when we were working together out of a dorm room or a small office, but it became impractical as the company got bigger. So, if I had a time machine, I’d want to make sure we each had defined spheres of influence. It would have helped us work more efficiently, more effectively, and with more amity. Don’t assume what works when you’re a two-person team will work when you have a thousand people.
