3 Key Takeaways

Stop Being a Chief Everything Officer: When you’re starting a business, managing every task and wearing multiple hats — it's all part of the hustle. But eventually you’ve got to focus more on your strengths and free up time for what you do best, and that means you’ve got to ensure you have the right talent in place that you trust to handle the other tasks effectively. ‍
Chase the Big Idea: Thad talks about the benefits of helping his staff believe that what they’re doing is bigger than their company. They’re helping transform their industry. They’re innovating. They’re creating positive change. When employees feel connected to a larger purpose, they're more motivated and engaged.
‍When It Comes to Failing, Walk the Walk: A ton of business owners and CEOs talk about how it’s ok to fail. But most of them, when it comes down to brass tacks, put high expectations on their designers and engineers to succeed at all costs. Failure can be a natural part of the creative process. But rather than just giving lip service to this idea, successful leaders actually empower their teams to push boundaries—and never berate them if they don’t succeed.
