Leading The Way

Episode 4: Biggest mistakes I made as a startup CEO

NikolinaF Season 1 Episode 4

Welcome to the fourth episode of Leading the Way! 

In this one, I'm even more honest and straightforward than in any previous episodes.

Talking about mistakes is tough. It reminds us of the time when we failed and had to face unpleasant consequences. But, I'm a firm believer that we learn the most from our failures. With every mistake we make we are wiser, better, and stronger. In this outspoken episode, I talk about:

  • why hiring mistakes are so dangerous in a startup
  • is it even feasible to scale up so quickly
  • why is it a bad idea to make yourself indispensable
  • consequences of losing sight of company finances
  • and a few other mistakes I made along the way

These are neither absolute truth nor all mistakes I made - different leaders might make different mistakes. But, I do believe we should speak more often and be more frank about it!
