Overview

STARTUP CULTURE MINDSET A Primer to Building an Amazing Culture and Tribe was written for startup founders or executives who aspire to create an amazing team that buys into the mission. The key is to understand that the founder of a startup or leaders of a company determine the culture on purpose. And in order to do that well, you have to understand the key elements of a culture framework. Based on 20 years of company creation, leadership and observation, I will share with you the key elements of a culture framework: Leadership: Led by the founders or key leaders of a startup. Mission: The goal of the startup from a customer point of view. Values: The core values of the startup, usually determined by the leadership. Freedom/Accountability: The key mantra to any successful startup. I will delve into each of these four areas of the culture framework in the book. What you can expect from this book is research and knowledge on culture, a defined culture framework, insights from some amazing company founders and quite a few takeaways that you can incorporate immediately into your daily life. For example, you don't become a leader just because you launch a startup or lead a division in a company. You have to acquire years of knowledge, experience and mentor-based insights as a great follower. Those are things you could be doing right now. Your ultimate goal is to establish the framework for an amazing culture before you actually launch the startup. Then when you recruit your first employee, you will know what type of person you are looking for, not based on a skill set, but based on fitting into your culture. The people you recruit will be critical to your success and they need to feel they are setting out on a powerful mission, guided by great leaders, supported by solid values and fueled by a freedom and accountability atmosphere, all to help your customers attain their goal. If a potential recruit does not fit into this type of culture, regardless of skills, don't hire them. Long term, they will disruptthe tribe of your other employees and dysfunction will occur. Do everything you can to keep these people out of your company even if it means you still approve of final recommended hires with a culture interview. One final thought on the critical importance of creating a great tribe for your startup. Quite a few Silicon Valley investors have said this when investing in a startup team. Give me a great startup team with even a mediocre idea over a weak team with a great idea every time. Because a great team will know when to pivot and they will trust each other to execute. A weak team will simply fail.
