Do it Yourself Before Handing Off

Organizations should prioritize understanding their core operations before hiring specialized roles. Emphasizing in-person collaboration fosters transparency about the work culture and encourages all employees, including leadership, to engage in basic tasks that validate hypotheses and improve processes. Waiting until a generalist outgrows their role ensures that new hires are set up for success. Founders and leaders should focus on customer acquisition and user engagement instead of getting lost in organizational structure or fundraising strategies. The key lies in cultivating a hands-on mentality within the team to drive success organically before delegating responsibilities.
