Thinking by doing - spoken like a true designer. The true cost of this approach is coordination with the rest of the organisation: if everyone shoots in different directions, it becomes hard to keep the real intent of the company. Tough balance to find.
Chaos isn’t bad when it means people care enough to make things happen.

It’s easy when the team is small, the CEO is in every room, and everyone feels like an insider. But as you grow:
-> The early team becomes managers.
-> New hires never met “the garage version” of the company.
-> Distance (literal and emotional) creeps in.
-> Speed gets replaced with swim lanes.
And suddenly, you’ve got two teams:
1) The ones who feel like founders
2) And the ones who just have jobs
