17 year old's guide on how to run a company as philosophy.
Few days ago when I was brainstorming I got an idea to write on management and hiring, so i did what I usually do, I wrote the questions, the conflict, context and everything. It was more like a mini essay than a guide, Earlier this morning I collected all the fragmented pieces on management and hiring and put them together in a guide that I sharing.
Some insights and explanations —
Great companies are philosophies. Not because of their identity, but because of the structure they carry.
A working document on hiring, managing, criticism, and firing.
One thing I kept coming back to while writing it: most workplace criticism is useless. Not because people are dishonest, but because nobody forces them to think it through before they say it.
Two questions that I think fix this —
Why this criticism, actually? Not the surface reason. The real one.
And is it even necessary, or are you just irritated?
Those two questions alone would kill half the pointless feedback loops I've seen in companies.
Open for contradictions, and praises, but please do question yourself and me and if you have a question for me just ask me in the comments.
