A post today from Corbett Network Member Clean Slate: Helping people achieve their dreams is a highlight of our work, so we are especially pleased to share Joe's journey with us. Despite the challenges of a past conviction, we worked with Joe to help him overcome barriers, both external and internal, and find his path to a dream job at Corbett Network member Beam. Watch Joe's Story and see how a second chance can make a difference. https://loom.ly/IlVx--0

In case you needed further convincing on the water thematic. Here is Matt Damon discussing some of the issues!

Here's a gentle little report of how a little small talk can have a big positive effect. The construction industry seems to be constantly assailed by problems, from economics to lack of job security, and has a suicide rate that is three times greater than the national average. I've had a few builders confide in me over the years that they've 'had enough' in every sense of the words. This Samaritans post is rather poignant; showing how a little bit of 'small talk' can have a big positive effect on someone who is feeling low. But don't keep that 'small talk' confined to the builders - have a look around you at the Building Regs surveyors who walk on to your site. They usually plough a lone furrow and get little thanks at the best of times. Now they are having to prove themselves to the BSR, or wondering if they should walk away and leave the Building Regs profession altogether. If you are a builder - or a Building Regs surveyor - just remember that a little bit of small talk can go a long way. This is meant to be a positive message, so if you see its value, please like and re-post to spread the message. Thanks for reading this far.

Some thoughtful considerations.

There are only two possible answers to this question. Either it’s a thrilling revelation or a rather anticlimactic letdown. What do you want it to be? Let’s dive in!

Amazing to read this. So much of it resonates with my experience working with early stage companies. Quite often when companies get funding suddenly there are a few more “adults in the room” that founders think will make the right calls for the company. Quite often that doesn’t end up being the case - Founders need to very much stay in the driving seat to ensure those around them are executing at a high level - Anything less can spell doom. #leadership #management #founders #headcount #talent #foundermode

We believe we have the right experiment to test the depths of bad advice versus what could possibly be a winning organizational design. Y Combinator, if you would like to partner with us for this thought experiment, we’d be excited to collaborate. In essence, our approach is what we call the "Pulling on the Ropes" model. In this model, the middle layer is so empowered and so involved that it appears they run the company, or they at least control the outcome which, by the way, is true even in the current pyramid structure but the results are not always the best and issues are not always evident. The traditional pyramid structure evades the truth of poor communication and erosion-by-omission of the message. Half-baked information without clearly established objectives often causes middle management to misalign priorities and/or interpret the mission in their own way. In fact, this might be one of the top reasons why innovation dies. Our proposed model has the middle layer actively participating in both problem-solving and daily operations. For example, consider a hierarchy where L12 is the CEO and L1 represents warehouse staff or lowskilled entry-level employees. In this model, L6 and L7 are the key middle layers, reporting and collaborating specifically on knowledge gaps and comparing notes. Middle management is now divided into two legs: one leg focuses on long-term thinking, tackling unexplored challenges, and creating new opportunities while enabling teams to do their work. The second leg focuses on execution, creating magnificent products or invaluable services, innovating on behalf of the organization, and conducting research freely on topics that align with organizational goals. This model allows each layer to know exactly what they need to do, deliver, and achieve. The unique skill sets within each layer facilitate smoother transitions, and there are even possibilities for skipping layers when necessary, such as during escalations, impacts, or promotions. We call it "Pulling on the Ropes" because the middle layer can now pull closer any layer that they believe is not delivering correctly or is strategically more relevant. For instance, during growth phases, every worthy thought experiment (with or without Qrious Ventures) can be pulled closer, and the middle management can then guide teams towards the new mandate. Conversely, during challenging periods, every new idea to improve operations can be pulled closer and streamlined for implementation across the organization. Please feel free to reach out at [email protected] if you’d like to brainstorm further on this approach or run experiments together. We are new and we want to earn your trust. We apologize that our website is not up and ready right now; we are working toward launching it soon. In the meantime, the email address works, and so does this form. Please share your expectations with us so that we can prepare better. Thank you for taking your time. - Qrious Ventures

As your local twitter translator, this is going bonkers in Silicon Valley. The phrase founder-mode has instantly been solidified in the zeitgeist. You will hear about this for a decade, a new meta phrase like "product-market-fit."
