Do you have the right number of people to get the job done?

When building your scaleup, it's easy to underestimate the number and diversity of people you need in org.

Each major division and product area needs its own squad with clear missions and a cross-functional mix of people to get the job done.

In my work, I see many scaleups experiencing a great deal of pain and dysfunction due to the leadership team underestimating the cost and complexity of all the "businesses" and "initiatives" they create.

Many of these efforts are, at best, unfunded mandates or, at worst, the result of a distinct lack of strategy and making hard choices.
