ESSENTIALS MANAGEMENT If you can supply these things, you’ll be on your way to creating a multi-brain organism, smart enough to take on multiple, enormous tasks at the same time. You’ll be capable of launching a big new feature set while also restructuring compensation. You’ll be able to keep your hiring engine ifring on all cylinders while jumping on an emergency need from a marquee customer. This ability to parallelize complex actions is a whole new plane of existence for companies. And if you’re just headed into rapid growth, it’s the goal you should be targeting from the beginning.
