Lessons from a startup that scaled up | Kurtis McBride | TEDxUW

Tired of corporate hierarchy? So is Kurtis. So tired in fact he sat down with his team to tackle what a company structure should look like in the 21st century, how it can empower the development of its people, and how it can make businesses stronger as he and his team re-write the rules of both leadership AND individual employee growth within his organization. He hope other companies can grab hold of this concept to usher in a new age of business and end the Tyranny of Hierarchy.

execution is THE business... it is the plan. you can execute a flawed plan and be ok. You cant plan a non exectue.

What I don't understand is... how did one mouse result in eight? Mice can't reproduce asexually.
