A speedboat is more agile than a tanker – but also much more vulnerable. In a crisis, these characteristics can determine whether a company disappears from the market particularly quickly or makes a particularly rapid adjustment. The dynamics of the crisis take place most quickly in small start-ups and larger scale-ups. What tools do their agile leadership teams use in days like these? And what can large organizations learn from them?
A look at special structural features of agile SMEs:
Organizations of all types and sizes need to solve these questions for themselves. However, especially in small organizations, there is often a great deal of condensation of the issues of a crisis into a few people in terms of time and content. Moreover, events can be played out in a much more exemplary manner on the greenfield site that often still exists. This allows particularly insightful observations on the topic of leadership and strategy in stressful situations.
As a multiple entrepreneur, Johannes Hoyos has brought together and developed thousands of young people in teams. Today, as a coach, he accompanies management teams of start-ups and scale-ups in the development of strategies and organisational structures. In the current crisis months, he was able in this way to shape and follow the most diverse perspectives and processing patterns in dealing with the crisis. At the same time, as a still active entrepreneur with 100 employees in the food and retail sector, he himself is strongly affected by the crisis.
