I was reading this and kept thinking how this is even more true for small teams and generalists in small teams, which is the focus of my work and writing.
All of these patterns show up in small teams in a kind of multiplier mode:
– speed over teaching (and more broadly, speed over delegation and system-building)
– balancing role work and team management
– emotional contagion, which in small teams doesn’t even need proof! it’s built into the nature of small teams.
Overall, this is a really strong and thoughtful piece. Thank you for writing it.
Exactly this. Small teams experience all of these patterns in high definition, speed over teaching, emotional contagion, and the constant pull between doing and managing.
That’s why I’m so passionate about this space. Really appreciate you taking the time to reflect on this. H

It was a pleasure to read and engage with — the text is really sharp and thoughtful. Thank you!
GEMS My main takeaway is to ask more questions, less action on my part. “What’s your next step?” Brilliant.
👏👏 love it
