Kris Cordle: 我在宗教组织中成长的经历，培养了我的谦逊、同情心和服务领导力。离开宗教组织后，我重新审视人生目标，并将其应用于工作中，帮助高增长公司（如Twitter和Slack）实现规模扩张。成功的关键在于：1. 委派任务，专注于核心工作；2. 持续学习，保持对新知识和新技术的敏感性；3. 定期休息，避免认知超载。在公司扩张过程中，员工的适应能力至关重要，领导者需要帮助员工适应新的公司文化和角色转变。招聘和解雇员工需要权衡人情和业务需求，同时也要警惕投资人推荐候选人可能存在的潜在风险。面对变化，人们通常会经历“拒绝-容忍-接受”三个阶段，领导者需要在这个过程中引导员工，并倾听他们的意见。不同部门的文化差异需要通过沟通和互动来弥合，建立团队间的相互理解和尊重。在公司中做出更好决策的关键在于收集尽可能多的信息，并最终果断决策，同时避免过度回顾过去。决策后的复盘应关注过程和结果，而非责任归属。创始人需要适应公司快速发展带来的挑战，并从产品创造者转变为企业建设者。释放自我，保持好奇心，并从长期的关系中获得反馈，有助于避免固守个人叙事。 Shane Parrish: 与Kris的对话中，我关注到高增长公司领导者面临的挑战，以及成功的关键因素。Kris分享了她在Twitter和Slack的经验，强调了委派、持续学习和休息的重要性，以及在公司扩张过程中保持团队凝聚力的重要性。我们还探讨了有效决策、适应变化以及释放自我的方法。
