12 weeks in...

It's been twelve weeks. 3 months. And what have I learned?

Well, I have re-learned that I love small companies. There is something very appealing about a group of people all coming together to accomplish something none of them could do alone. And being on the same page is so, so much easier when the number of employees is small. Clarity of mission - much easier. Clarity of plans - much easier. Changing course - much easier. Having fun - much easier.

I have also learned that I can more easily share leadership than I thought I could. I have really enjoyed working closely with the two co-founders, especially with Jim Waltrip the CEO to help him articulate and implement his vision for the business...rather than simply impose my own.

I am having a blast.
