Karriere- und Leadership-Tipps vom besten CEO der Welt Frank Slootman hat mit Data Domain, Service Now und Snowflake drei milliardenschwere Softwarefirmen hochskaliert und an die Börse gebracht. Er gilt als bester Software-CEO der Welt. Das sind die top Karrieretips aus seinem Buch AMP IT UP. "We all need to be careful what “elevator” we get into early in our careers. Some go up, some go down, some don't move. It's largely beyond our control, so choose wisely. We have seen staggering examples of this phenomenon in Silicon Valley. Anybody who spent the last 20 years at Google, Amazon, or Apple would have done spectacularly well, regardless of their individual merit. And anyone who stayed with companies like IBM and HP would have stagnated during that period." "We coped in ways I have used ever since: hire people ahead of their own curve. Hire more for aptitude than experience and give people the career opportunity of a lifetime. They will be motivated and driven, with a cannot‐fail attitude. The good ones would grab the opportunity to accelerate their careers with us." "I would sometimes say in all‐hands meetings that I was personally committed to help each of our employees reach a different station in life as a function of the company's fortunes. In exchange, I was asking for the best they had to offer. That was the deal: we do the best we can for each other. People sometimes gave me an incredulous look: a CEO who is saying that his goal is to elevate our fortunes? Seriously? Yes, and our companies proved it. Sometimes years after a staffer had moved on, I would still receive an email expressing their appreciation for how much our company had changed their life's trajectory." "Not everyone has this visceral sense of contest, especially at companies that shield their people from the real stakes at hand. When leaders fail to explain the industry landscape, employees don't feel the cold winds of competition. Their jobs and paychecks feel secure, but that's an illusion. Good leaders explain that none of us are ever truly safe in our roles for any length of time. If this fact makes people uncomfortable, that's good."

We at Dr. Hauschka and many other entrepreneurs are waiting for the #neuerechtsform. Who else? Economy should serve people, profit should not be an end in itself. This is one of the principles at Dr. Hauschka, as founder Dr. Rudolf Hauschka was convinced that entrepreneurship is always linked to responsibility. Hence, Dr. Hauschka / WALA was transferred to a non-profit corporate foundation more than 35 years ago. Dr. Hauschka / WALA has been member of Stiftung Verantwortungseigentum (Foundation of Steward Ownership) since the beginning, supporting entrepreneurs in order to be able to secure the long-term independence of their companies without bureaucracy. 📃 There are proposals from the scientific community to the government on how this legal form could be implemented simply, without bureaucracy, and in an entrepreneurial manner – that's why we want to support and share the #neuerechtsform together with others. The #neuerechtsform provides a suitable legal basis for companies in 'steward-ownership' or 'trust ownership'. This means it... 👉guarantees a legally binding commitment of assets (profits remain within the company and are used for business development),   👉ensures entrepreneurial independence without bureaucracy, and   👉enables the transfer of ownership rights to capable successors, regardless of their financial strength and beyond the immediate family circle. ✏️ If you, as an entrepreneur, are also waiting for the #neuerechtsform support the initiative by adding your name to the waiting list: https://lnkd.in/dx2qjys5 #spreadtheword #warteliste #wirwarten #neuerechtsform #nachfolge #mittelstand #wirtschaftswende #diezukunftistjetzt #wennnichtjetztwanndann

Very cool document on how to use GenAI tools in business with an eye for the bias in their results. If you don't speak German, maybe DEEPL can help to translate most of it. Take a look Fiona Ruff, Dr. Larysa Visengeriyeva, Barbara Lampl. There are comments in the original thread on how obviously the issue starts in the biased training data. Which is exactly why it's so important to know about how to check for diversity in the training data, when you build AI products, so this issue does not even show up in the default outcomes (which you should also check of course). Honestly this is the work we are all invited to do: unlearning the bias that surrounds us in the world - even without AI tools. We're all parts of the systems that created the biased training data to begin with. And we all internalized a lot of biased language and behavior that deserves reflection.

🚀 Want Results? Stop Talking: The Silent Revolution in Team Workshops 🚀 I participated in a transformative workshop led by our brilliant Scale Up coach, Lorenz Hartung, at Internet Up GmbH (see video below). We delved into the critical processes within our rapidly growing company, employing the ingenious "How to Make Toast" method by Tom Wujec. Here’s a glimpse of what we did: 🔸 Silent Collaboration: For the first 30 minutes, we worked in complete silence using Post-its to outline our "Product Launch-to-Cash" process. No talking, just focused thinking and visualization. 🔸 Visualizing Processes: Each team member contributed to mapping out the entire process, identifying key touchpoints, responsibilities, gaps, and potential areas for implementing standards and checklists. 🔸 Remarkable Outcomes: The result was astonishing! Within just 40 minutes, we had a comprehensive visualization of this complex process. The silence forced us to think deeply and act decisively, leading to a level of efficiency and clarity we hadn't experienced before. The feedback from the team was unanimous: the absence of conversation was the game-changer. It drove us to action, ensuring we utilized every minute effectively. 🚀 Why You Should Try This: - Enhanced focus and productivity - Clearer understanding of processes - Rapid identification of improvement areas Curious to see how it's done? Check out Tom Wujec's video here:  Tom Wujec's Video > https://lnkd.in/e9DuvenH I can't stress enough how impactful this method was for us. If you’re looking to boost your team’s efficiency, give it a try and experience the magic of silent collaboration! 👉 Do you have any other tips for speeding up progress in team workshops?

Maybe a small hack for my network. I am lucky to receive a good inbound flow of angel investment opportunities, but am not able to invest into all of the teams. Whenever I am unable to do so, I instead refer them to this URL instead: https://lnkd.in/eyfWEKz3 Thank you Jan Thomas for facilitating this with your Startup Insider team!
