我认为创始人经常忽视的一点是,公司的故事其实就是公司的战略。没人会有一个完全秘密的战略,而故事又完全不同。
0:27
战略的真相是,它不是你开一次会,和团队讨论“我们的战略是什么,大家说说”,然后集思广益制定出来的。
0:45
真正发生的是,你有了最初的想法,开始了解市场、客户、技术、团队成员的情况,每天在脑海中一点点调整战略,
1:02
但一个季度后,它其实已经和最初的大不相同了。所以不断更新你的故事、清晰表达你的故事非常重要,我强烈建议把它写下来,方便
1:24
与公司里的每个人、你招募的每个人、募资的投资人和所有利益相关者、每个客户分享:这究竟是个什么故事?我觉得创始人有个问题是,这不感觉像工作,比如你今天在做什么?“我在完善我的故事”,听起来不像工作。你为什么不让别人帮你写呢?抱歉这么说,我以前当过CEO。正因为这不感觉像工作,所以很多人不去做,但这可能是岗位上最重要的事情之一。
1:39
真正拥有并反复打磨这个故事,即使像我们公司,John会告诉你,我偶尔会写这个故事,虽然不是一直写,但这对大家很有帮助,也对我很有帮助,让我能明确说“这就是我们的目标”。
2:01
就是要真正拥有那东西,就像今天在公司,约翰会告诉你,我偶尔会写故事,不是一直,但这对大家很有帮助,也有助于我说明我们要做什么。

Like this is something that I think founders often neglect over time is so the
0:11
story of the company
0:12
is also the strategy of the company. Nobody's got like some strategy
0:19
in their back pocket that's like entirely secret and then they've got a story
0:26
that's different.
0:27
So like that's the one thing and the truth about strategy is it's kind of a
0:34
thing that it's not
0:35
like a meeting that you have and you go out with your team you go like what's
0:39
our strategy? Okay
0:40
everybody give me your input and then we assemble this strategy by committee.
0:45
What really is happening
0:46
is you have the initial idea. You're learning about the market, you're learning
0:50
about the
0:51
customers, you're learning about the technology, you're learning about each
0:53
other and in your mind
0:55
you're kind of adjusting that strategy a little bit at a time every day but
1:02
then a quarter later
1:03
it's actually pretty different than what you started with and so it's really
1:08
important
1:09
that you keep upgrading your story, the articulation of your story and like I
1:16
would definitely recommend
1:17
like it be in written form and it kind of be something that you can share with
1:24
everybody in
1:25
the company but everybody you're recruiting, everybody you're trying to raise
1:28
money from
1:28
like all your constituents, every customer like what the hell is the story of
1:34
this thing and
1:35
the problem that I think founders have is it doesn't feel like work like what
1:39
are you doing
1:39
today? I'm working on my story that doesn't sound like work why don't you have
1:44
like open claw right
1:45
that for you? Sorry for the language I used to be a CEO. So because it doesn't
1:57
feel like work
1:57
people don't do it but it's probably one of the most important parts of the job
2:01
is to have that
2:01
thing really and even like like today at the firm John will tell you like I
2:06
write the story
2:09
you know every once in a while not all the time but it's very helpful for
2:15
people to just go and
2:16
it's helpful for me to go like this is what we're trying to do here.
