Crazy is a Compliment

Linda Rottenberg

Keep your wits about you to keep your company successful: Only take intelligent risks, and seize the golden opportunity when chaos strikes. Develop your leadership abilities to work around your weaknesses and strengths. Hold a hackathon to inspire ideas. The growth of a company often results in rigid hierarchies. Instead, think of organizing occasional hackathons to keep your company innovative and fresh, where cross-functional teams work on a challenging project or problem for a day – you'll come up with creative options in a few days. A Silicon Valley hackathon, for example, saw a hundred entrepreneurs develop several innovative ideas for improving education on the way to London from San Francisco!
