[SOLVED] listen to the four episode and write about them, add other source+external citations.
Im working on a Management exercise and need support.
For the next couple of weeks we are going to dig in more to the startup-side of management. I hope that if you really stick with these next two assignments you will understand how deeply personal the management side of a startup is. And, how without values-based leadership, a startup will be much harder than it already is!
Stick with me, this week we will listen to 4, 20-30 minute podcasts. Next week, 4 more (8 total), all from the same show. I’m being a little experiment-y in that I’m having you listen to 8 episodes that are not consecutive, so there will be some holes in the plot line, but I think you’ll be fine without every piece of information (I hope!). The podcast is called Startup. If you’re into startups, or love a vulnerable, intimate story about humans being human, binge the whole dang thing because it’s so good!
The first episode is just to help you get a taste of what the show is about, the following 7 will touch on many themes from hiring diverse teams, to understanding the personal baggage we bring into a company. The episodes get progressively better and more interesting with each one.
Week 1
- Episode 1: How Not to Pitch a Billionaire (Links to an external site.)
- Episode 3: How to Divide an Imaginary Pie (Links to an external site.)
- Episode 6: How to Value a Startup (Links to an external site.)
- Episode 9: We Made a Mistake (Links to an external site.)
1. Listen to these four episodes of startup (25 ish minutes each). Share a bit about what you learned from each episode around how individuals leadership qualities become a big part of managing a startup. Some of you expressed wanting to learn more about fundraising, and these episodes dig into that topic a bit.
2. Find two other credible sources to support your argument.
