If one claims to have growth experience. Enough to create a blog post about it. And one can't figure out the appropriate strategy to make a return on your head count - then stop pretending . A growth team should be designed to meet the business requirements and make a return (on top of your head count). Because one can't create an effective strategy to produce a return, doesn't mean you toss out the entire idea of creating Growth Teams. Because you failed - it doesn't mean its bad. It wasn't bad for Facebook.
