StartupsSend one weekly numbers email
Collin describes sending the whole company a weekly email with the same structure at about the same time, a habit that began as a daily revenue update. She says sharing the good and the bad gives accountability, and that she also sends her direct reports a note of her goals for the week every Monday morning. She says the roughly hour it took her to write it in the early years was vital.
“Sharing the good, the bad and the ugly provides accountability and a forcing function.”— Mathilde Collin, The Founder’s Guide to Discipline: Lessons from Front’s Mathilde Collin, Dec 2018
