Celebrate Both Success and Failure

"In our culture deck, which I like to show to a new team member coming in...one of the main things we talk about is not celebrating," says Siminoff (founder of startup Ring). "I see these startups celebrating every new funding round, and the reality is that there are always bad things that are going to happen to your business. I think it's really important to keep the team realistic." - Anna Hensel in Inc.

Insight
Not celebrating is overdoing things. Both failure as well as success need to be viewed realistically, so why not celebrate ‘learning’ in failure and a ‘job well done’ in success?

Wise Business Budgets

TaxiForSure founder Aprameya Radhakrishna believes the first half of 2015 saw a lot of money being poured into startups by investors. The plenty made startups splurge on things. Now with some biggies questioned on their spends, there is an overall correction.

Insight
In good times companies spend indiscriminately on initiatives, but when a slowdown hits, there is indiscriminate cost slashing. By making sure their today’s ‘Now’ is positioned in the long-term trajectory of organizational purpose, they can make sure to put the right resources behind where they want to head. #Connect2Coach
