Linear CEO Karri Saarinen on Brian Chesky’s Founder Mode
- Aim to have as few people as possible
On what managing people through the work looks like:
You talk about their projects and work, collaborate and coach and give guidance if needed on how they could do certain things better or improve in their role.
Sounds kind of obvious but the quite common practice past decade was that managers have 1:1s where they talk about how their report feels, what they want or what kind issues they are having.
Some places you weren't even really allowed to bring up work or projects in the 1:1s, and wouldn't really help because the manager was removed from the actual work, might not be domain expert and would just spend their days in meetings, 1:1s and performance reviews.
