BR 296: Scaling People by Claire Hughes Johnson

Category: 3 – SHELF it (All Categories are 1 – Read ASAP!, 2 – BUY it!, 3 – SHELF it, 4 – SOMEDAY it)

Comments: I appreciate that Claire Hughes Johnson tackled a topic not many would want to tackle – working through the details of the ins and outs of designing the operations at Stripe and sharing her approach to being a Chief Operations Officer. The book is thoughtful and detailed.

Insight(s) that resonated: 

(1) Good management is often about saying the things you think you cannot say.

(2) If your operations are not evolving as you grow, you’ve probably got the wrong systems.
