Reid Hoffman extends this idea in an interesting way by talking about how you need different types of teams depending on what stage the company is at. One team to storm the beach, another team to capture the city, and another team to hold and police the city after.
In both the case of the teams and "wartime" vs "peacetime" leaders I don't think one is better than another, just different skillets for different situations.
- alexpotato 4y agoI've sometimes heard it called the "Pioneers, Settlers and Town Planners" due to this article: https://medium.com/org-hacking/pioneers-settlers-town-planners-wardley-9dcd3709cde7 https://medium.com/org-hacking/pioneers-settlers-town-planne... Basically, different people are best suited to different stages of the organizations growth. I can see how that might also apply to the CEO in crisis vs not-crisis mode.
