For the people who have not worked in a “startup”, this podcast has a lot of insight:

If you have an iDevice use: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/hbr-ideacast/id152022135?mt=2&i=1000427274875

everyone in the “core” @dwyl team should listen to the podcast and understand the topic.

A lot of good insight on something I think we don't see much in 'the London bubble' which is that there's a great side of tech startups - the energy, the fun, the freedom to speak up and the experimentation - but there's a more difficult and less fluffy side which is necessary - the discipline, the hard conversations and the hard decisions.

An environment should never be cruel but always truthful and unafraid of confronting issues head-on.

Off the top of my head, linked to #182 dwyl/process-handbook#19 dwyl/contributing#28

For leaders they have to clarify: here's the real road ahead.
