Treat slower execution at scale as a design challenge, not merely a performance problem. Build operating systems that limit coordination drag while turning greater resources, specialization, and reach into stronger execution.
Founders who preserve startup-era habits as headcount grows can create bottlenecks. Deliberately redesigning decision rights and coordination helps the company gain the benefits of scale without allowing complexity to dominate.
