Entrepreneurs hate systems. That’s the story we tell ourselves.
It sounds sexy and rebellious – “no bureaucracy here – we just get sh*t done”
Until that story becomes a lie, and our lives are out of control, in the crush of grind and/or in reactive chaos. When we reach a point that the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand’s doing. Hell, we don’t even know what we’re doing.
This is when most of us wind up in what I call the Valley of Uncertainty.
The place where our system-less ways have gotten us stuck in the slimy sludge of leaderless leadership. Where we’re wishing our team was serving us better – simply because we want them to, not because we’re helping them understand how.
The ones of us that make it out of that Uncertainty Valley find oxygen, progress and optimism in systems. Not systems for systems sake.
But rather systems for simplicities sake.
