Small-sized companies often face the challenge of scaling their operations to meet growing demand or expand into new markets. While growth is an exciting prospect, a common problem they can relate to is the fear of losing their unique company culture in the process.
These businesses have typically cultivated a tight-knit culture characterized by shared values, close relationships among employees, and a sense of identity that sets them apart. As they consider scaling up, they worry that the very qualities that made them successful and distinctive might erode. They fear becoming just another faceless corporation, where employees feel like cogs in a machine rather than valued contributors to a community.
This problem of balancing growth aspirations with the desire to preserve their cherished culture can be a source of significant concern for small companies. They want to expand and thrive but not at the expense of the special ethos that has defined them from the beginning.
I have GREAT News, you do not have to dismantle the core values, camaraderie, and spirit that have been part of the foundation of your success.
Scaling without losing the good parts of your business is possible. It takes clarity on what you want to keep and intentionality on how to execute. I believe this is where the desire and the capability create a casam. In a smaller company the CEO is focused on that growth strategy and CXO is focused on sales or tactical operations, the science or the technology. While intentions are strong, execution is hard to near impossible.
Ok, so you've got your clarity on what you want to keep? Now let's define what things you need to scale. What are your pain points right now, what is taking you too much time, what are the thing that people on the team dread doing now that there are 50 people instead of 20? Who has FOMO because you failed to communicate becuase you forgot about the new team or the new process to communicate 😂
This is where I come in. I love the messy middle. A little technical, a little operational, a little heart and alot of organization.
1️⃣ I love to see happy people making great products. It fills my heart with joy! 2️⃣ I have a passion for assisting companies in solving challenges through innovative concepts, bringing into existence what was previously nonexistent and orchestrating notable transformations. The answers are in you, the things have been done, but you need someone to put them into action.
Ok, this post is getting too long, I'll end here, but If you're eager to learn more, don't hesitate to reach out to me—I relish the opportunity to connect with new businesses and discuss their unique journeys.
