Lo scaleup non è un processo semplice, e nemmeno veloce.
I casi di startup che molto rapidamente diventano scaleup, e da scaleup diventano unicorni, sono spesso leggende o, nel migliore dei casi, rare eccezioni.
Normalmente, una startup può rimanere in tale fase per diversi anni e se riesce a raggiungere il momento di diventare una grande azienda, la fase di scaleup può essere anch’essa prolungata.

Takeaway
1 – Once a team has lost confidence in its leader, it is nearly impossible to get it back
2 – In a scale-up the leadership hierarchy of needs is that managers need to solve for enterprise value first, then solve for their team, and then themselves
3 -In startup mode, you tend to do everything fast. If you are wrong, you just roll back the decision. In scale-up mode, you have a choice: You can do things fast or do things right
4 – In a scale-up, everything is tightly interconnected and if one piece breaks, it can easily ripple through the whole system, so everything has to work well at the same time
5 – The sign of a good team is that they can have healthy debate, but once a decision gets made whether they won the debate or not, they need to line up behind it. If you don’t have that feature in your team, it is hard to scale
6 – One thing that can kill a scale-up is the “uninspired compromise.” Your job as a CEO is to make the right decision, not the most popular decision.
7 – In startup mode, you tend to do everything fast. If you are wrong, you just roll back the decision. In scaleup mode, you have a choice: You can do things fast or do things right.
