It’s been less than two decades since the internet first emerged as a commercial entity, but it is now transforming the world at breakneck speed. In this era of constant change, organizations can either learn how to adapt or die. The term “Blitzscaling” has been coined by Reid Hoffman to describe how companies have scaled from being small startups into global giants with lightning-speed revolutions.
Mark Lachance, a blitzscaling expert and entrepreneur has shared his latest insights on how to scale a business quickly. He said that “most entrepreneurs have no idea what they need.” His philosophy is not to think about what you want your company to look like in five years, but focus on getting there as soon as possible. He also emphasizes that it’s important to be able to pivot from one idea into another without being afraid of failure because it will happen at some point.
Along with these tips for blitzscale success, Lachance stresses the importance of hiring a smart and hardworking team. Give the team members freedom to succeed by empowering them. Letting go and trusting your employees will create lifelong loyalists that love working for you, instead of micromanaging them day in-and-out. Delegate tasks, so you can focus on what’s best for your team and the company. You don’t need to be an expert at everything, leverage other people’s talents and trust that they will do their job well.
