Dynamic co-founders are unique leaders who can teach their super power to the rest of the team.

The best way to keep your team focused is to make sure that each team member is cognizant of company goals and priorities.
Use team meetings, daily standups, and multiple forms of communication to be clear about what’s done, what you’re working on,
and when things need to be completed.

Industry changing startups afford team members the creative freedom to take on new, sometimes crazy, challenges. Adopt Kiip’s ‘Lunch and Learn’ to encourage individuals to share new ideas and
assemble teams to execute them.

Prioritize cross functionality to lead efficient projects. For example, sharing a new feature with
an engineer immediately alerts you whether or not it’s possible. This will save you time in the long run.

When possible, build all features in house so team members can actively watch
company goals come into fruition.

To cultivate design thinking, institute weekly or bimonthly design sprints.
Set goals, work fast, and iterate daily.

Use daily stand ups to emphasize accountability, maximize collaboration, and eliminate road-blocks.

The biggest misconception about leadership is that you have to scare people
in order for them to respect you. Do the opposite by validating the people you work
with and building real relationships with them.

Leading with love doesn’t mean that you don’t hold people to high standards. It means that you have the courage to do loving things.
Try helping a team member when they’re struggling with a project or celebrating a personal or professional achievement.

Use Madison Reed’s emotion cards to cultivate a culture of compassion at your startup. Lead the way by choosing an emotion from the deck and honestly sharing your experiences with them. If
you don’t open up they won’t either.

The only way to have a great culture is to be transparent about your values from day one. Share your culture or values document with
prospective hires to see if they fit in. If they don’t, you’re both better off pursuing other opportunities.
