Self-organisation and time management in hyper-growth startups, with Jeff Dunham (CTO @ Wallbox)
With all the hype about Tesla, NIO and electric vehicles slowly creeping into the mainstream, we thought it'd be good to bring one of the hottest startups in the industry right now into our podcast.
That's why we invited Jeff Dunham (CTO @ Wallbox) to talk about... meetings! Yeah, that's right. Jeff is an expert on running meetings, self-organisation and maximising the outcomes of any kind of meeting you want to run in a company. He's deeply passionate about this subject, and we discussed with him for over an hour about:
- How to prepare meetings
- How to structure your weekly agenda
- Recurring meetings: yes or not?
- Allowing for serendipity in tight agendas
- Dealing with tech teams at scale
- How to scale yourself as the company scales
- Dealing with crises and the unexpected
- Async vs sync models
We also cover the usual tech fuckups and other matters of extraterrestrial interest, but we promise we will bring him back to talk about electric vehicles soon. First, you all need to learn how to organise your agenda and to run your meetings from Jeff!
