You’re a startup founder. How can you manage your team effectively?
Startups are often pressure cooker environments in which failure can sometimes be taboo. This is the antithesis of innovation - failure is an essential ingredient to get something radically new and valuable out into the world. A culture that celebrates intentional, well designed experimentation and failure is infinitely better than one that succeeds at the wrong things.

You’re a startup founder. How can you manage your team effectively?
Communicating the frontline impact of a startup back to the team is a hidden gem in startup management. Most team members, depending on the business, won't get the chance to see the positive impact they're having on the world and making this more visible is a top task for management. As a leader, your job is also to protect the team from anything that could be a distraction - so communication should have a purpose and protect the team's focus.

You’re a startup founder. How can you manage your team effectively?
A social purpose can be a standout differentiator for a startup - it can mean the difference between a highly engaged, motivated team who are able to weather the ups and downs of a startup's journey, and one that breaks apart under the first signs of stress and challenge. In this economic climate, that's a superpower. At Chatterbox, our outstanding social purpose has helped us attract industry heavyweights with relative ease, and build a team that retains a deep sense of conviction and motivation regardless of the economic tailwinds that have impacted our business. Realising that every keyboard stroke can change someone's life materially imbues a level of focus and mission that's hard to replicate outside a social enterprise.
