Dara Khosrowshahi: It's a chase like it just, you just want to go. The temptation is people tend to equate team size with what you think of them. He says the manager who's the hero isn't the one who takes her team from 10 to 50. "I've got 10, we're a bunch of ninjas, and we're going to stay at 10," he adds.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi talks with Greylock general partner Reid Hoffman about his strategy for decision-making. Like most companies, Uber has experienced many ups and downs. Getting through each phase (good or bad), depends on how the leadership team responds, says Khosrowshahi. In difficult moments, which he refers to as "war time," it's critical to prioritize speed and quick decision-making. Conversely, during "peace time", he is more team-oriented and focused on incorporating as many viewpoints as possible.
