Short excerpt from Jason M. Lemkin (YouTube) where he states his current obsessions for scaling: adopting a multi-product strategy earlier and developing a second management team. He argues many leaders regret not going multi-product sooner and warns that lacking a second management team causes deceleration after initial growth.
The things I'm obsessed about now for scaling are multi product earlier and your second management team. Multi product because these are where I see the stumbles. You know, we talk a lot about the first. I can help you get your first managing team, but if you get tired on the second management team, you'll decelerate just when it's good. And I think we're learning now. Every single leader, maybe you'll. You'll disagree, which would be interesting. But almost everyone I talked to is looking and now saying cry many. I should have gone multi product early.
