Building a successful team in a tough labor market
Aligning team expertise through organizational phases
Formulating a laser-focused strategic plan while minimizing distractions
Mark addresses the "biggest challenge" for scaling organizations: deployment. He discusses the main ways that companies of all sizes can keep from losing track of a great strategy. Success requires setting strategy, ensuring alignment across the whole organization, ranking tasks by urgency and importance, applying discipline to ingrained internal processes, and measuring outcomes.
