My preferred way of working:
Zero politics, mining for conflict, best idea wins, writing things down, full responsibility, few internal meetings, taking risks, steady marathon pace, creative space, driving impact, and clear north stars complemented with extreme autonomy.
Creative work is inherently unequal. This is very visible in the income distributions of singers and movie stars, but less visible in white-collar professions.
Why? Thanks to/because of the office. 1/7
GLG can be viewed as a "tax" on the global knowledge economy. S-1 numbers are fascinating:
- 21k network members
- $520k annual contract value
- $290mm in recurring revs (as of 6/30/21)
- 102%+ "wallet retention" (completed one project in 90 days)
