When scaling up, you need to build your organization in the right format. This can include the structure of varies companies, build a high performing management team. Setting the right management team to help you drive the right culture. It is much easier to do it right the first time than re-creating the culture. Employing the right people is a must (and not just within your close network) but also making sure that you find the right balance between short term agility and structural processes. You need to set the direction, leading and setting examples of what is right and wrong behavior. When doing this you have to set this into an organizational context – you are not only reacting toward a single employee, you are sending signals to the rest of the organization – good and bad – and you need to be mindful of that the employee not necessary know the full story or do not see it the same way as you do.
Another bridge to be mindful of when fostering your company culture is your way of communicating and the amount of communication. When starting up, almost all employees know everything.
