    Episode 6: Learning from Liu Bang (Managing the dynamics between Founders and Professionals)

    Professional Team dynamic issues often happen because there is a difference in expectations or it is an ego issue. Both the founder and the professional need to know that success is about giving a chance to each other to make things successful. Both parties cannot achieve things on their own. Founders need to focus on maintaining unity in the team and to keep the Generals/Administrators engaged Professionals need to remember that the Founder is the one who has provided the platform for their professional expertise create impact.

    三顾茅庐 Experiment Episode (With Technical Error)

    Hello everyone, this is my try in recording a podcast to talk about Chinese History and some learnings for startup founders. Will like to start with something famous and light today - 三顾茅庐 (San 1 Gu4 Mao 2 Lu 2 Literally which means, 3 visits to the grass hut)  Some person takeaways from the story for start up founders  1. Ask what is your current position (street cred, financial, reputational etc) to attract the talent you are courting?  2. What's the platform you are providing to people who are joining you? 3. What's the vision and ambition over here  4. What's the rebel factor you are providing in this journey?  5. Knowing the interests and ambition of the person you are courting.
