Ben Horowitz suggests how to scale your Start Up.

• Jason Kolb has some cool ideas about baking processes into your product/ecosystem.

Aug26: Ben continues with some practices for minimizing political Game Playing in your company (Start Up?). Build strict processes for potentially political issues and do not deviate. Smells like pseudo-ScientificManagement. I Commented: This sounds like an attempt to take the variable humanity out of an organization. It even isolates the CEO from his own executive team. I think W L Gore and SemCo offer different models. I'm not sure how well they may to companies with lots of innovation/uncertainty, but then I'm not sure that yours does either.
