Sadly, no one appears to be funding the COVID-19 mental health crisis. This would be a great opportunity for Fast Grants to be proactive. I personally know clinical psychologists and researches desperately looking for funding to get ahead of this next wave. LMK if you're interested in helping.
While researching, I found this inspiring post by Gokul Rajaram who is someone I respect tremendously. If you haven't heard of Gokul, he's considered the Godfather of Google AdSense, creator of FB's ad platform and now a leader at Square. It's worth at least considering his advice :-)
I respectfully disagree. Steve Jobs used to talk about how a great team is like the Beatles. They were four really talented people that balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. It's hard to imagine the Beatles didn't disagree with one another and I would bet they eventually learned how to have productive disagreements. This is our attempt to define that best practice and help new hires be successful as we grow the team.
The sooner a company establishes how to have productive conversations and unlock everyone's potential the better.
