Founder's Mentality℠ and the paths to sustainable growth

[@sicilianace]

Excellent. I'm feeling really encouraged that my EVP and Chief Product Officer recommended this.

[@syedbuhari6177]

Excellent insight. This video published 10 years ago and still relevant today. I can see this happening in front of my eyes.

[@MT-vh6hd]

Amazon unbound got me here. Great advice

[@RodClarkson]

As a founder, I can relate. This video is 100% spot on. Owners must drive culture with tremendous grit and never lose culture. Don't lose control! Top-down leadership must dominate.

[@pmnordkvist]

Agree

[@maryannerose4232]

As a founder and recently acquired company your research rings more true than most realize. It is the focus and noble pursuit that drives a culture and the talent that lies within. We were able to wiggle our way out of the insurgents grip and now operating as a stand alone while finding ways to connect with the insurgents strength. As a founder, I would not have stayed without this fundamental change back to who we are. Thank you!

Some other content that you recommend?

[@anandvrao]

Really enjoyed the simplicity and elegance of this. The age-old 2x2 is such a useful tool. In this case, applied to a topic about size and complexity

[@franciscon.azevedo9759]

Thanks for sharing!This is great description of private owned companies in growing pains or when they transition after being acquired by larger corporations ...Large companies tend to accelerate the lost of Founders mentality of smaller acquired companies instead of preserving the competitive advantages...sometimes kill the company when they do not open market scale opportunities to these companies.Liked the energy vampire suckers image. Very real.

Solution Summary 12:00 Keep your heroes in the hallways Develops systems that amplify your heroes without replacing them [best utilizing their leadership]. Target black sheep. Focus your recruiting on acquiring insurgents, those who know what it means to war with an industry on behalf of a customer, not incumbents, who submit to the status quota.

Got here cos of Amazon Unbound. But the analysis is spot on.

[@nicolasgrilly]

Is Bain’s Founder’s Mentality mentioned in the book Amazon Unbound?

[@HalfIdeas]

Really well done. Clear, concise and spot on. Having worked with many larger incumbent companies the cultural normals and the inertia to complacency really resonate. Great explanation.

[@PFE_Urruti]

One of the best strategy and business video you might find !in uour life!.

[@kaydiankerr]

Very informative and relatable. Thank you!

[@JFCotman]

This is amazing !!!!!! Its sort of like the startup version of 'How the Mighty Fall' by Jim Collins.

Way ahead of his time.

Am here because Bezos made his managers watch this video

Excellant observations.

This is really good stuff and food for thoughts

Great video!

[@alwaystwoam]

This was fantastic.

[@jajab00r]

Simply Brilliant!

[@donisiswanto2011]

great! Founder's mentality!

[@JohnICGomes]

Brilliant!!!

[@Enrytartufi]

Really good example

[@onuroral5617]

Once you move from a startup to a fully-fledged company with a lot of rules to follow and customers to satisfy, it is very hard to stay within the founder's mentality even if you want to. Great ideas but not much practical for a big company. I saw this change when we acquire small start-ups, most heroes are already gone by the second year, the customer's flexibility would be already gone that they were tolerating for a start-up.

[@kyleredding9488]

woah close up 👀

[@ericstyer2890]

Wow, how accurate this one is.

[@erguneyf]

so true

[@NielsPflaeging]

Well produced video. However, "the matrix is here to stay" - that is utter nonsense, because it is a complicated response to complexity. And thus: a DUMB response. A smart response to market complexity is not matrix structures - but decentralization.

[@Kanerade]

Who else came here from a book?

[@carmenbasterrica5691]

Barbara me gustaría saber quien es tu abuelo, para saber cual es nuestro parentesco, no tiene mucho que ver con el tema pero me encantaria saberlo

[@CameronStones]

Good content, but enough with the overly-close close ups and pointless tracking back and forth behind that chair. Find a new look. Look at how other yt channels frame shots for small screens.

[@NielsPflaeging]

Oh boy, complexity and complicatedness are constantly confused in this talk...

[@sherylhawkes8731]

how many of your videos did Jeff Bezos demand for all managers to watch........ so easy to critique and then miss the really big point(s)
