Over the past few months, I have also come to realize that the same distinction between those who thrive when building from the ground up and those who prefer to work within a more established framework can be directly applied to business systems.
The more specialized the roles or the more mature the business, the smaller the team will be when it is ready to think intentionally about roles, accountability, and structured collaboration. Specialization and maturity seem like good things. “Structure” is often seen as restrictive and annoying. So why would these attributes create an earlier need for structure than a more generalized free for all?
