There are probably two types of successful founders: the ones who couldn\u2019t be bothered reading this, and the ones who understand that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. with success comes responsibility (for your employees, investors, clients, etc.), and<\/li>\n
  2. growing (too) fast creates a whole new situation with new challenges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Yes, growth is the ideal state of every business, but as Marshall Goldsmith put it, \u201cwhat got you here, won\u2019t get you there\u201d. Here are some of the issues created by growing (too) fast, and why interim management can also be a great solution for startups:<\/p>\n

      For startups, filling management positions is usually the most difficult, as typically people are more likely to join a startup in the beginning of their career, when gaining experience is more important than salary or job security.<\/p>\n

      Hence, promoting from within is often not the best option. Similarly, in this critical phase, you cannot afford to invest a lot of time in training new employees. They should already fit into the existing team and meet the role requirements.<\/p>\n

      Interim managers are free from your past. They always draw their motivation from the current project and challenge. As interim managers are usually not interested in equity, this also helps to avoid conflicts around this topic \u2013 another typical pitfall for growing startups.<\/p>\n

        For startups, filling management positions is usually the most difficult<\/strong>, as typically people are more likely to join a startup in the beginning of their career, when gaining experience is more important than salary or job security.<\/p>\n

        Hence, promoting from within is often not the best option. Similarly, in this critical phase, you cannot afford to invest a lot of time in training new employees<\/strong>. They should already fit into the existing team and meet the role qualifications.<\/p>\n

        Furthermore, you might lose some of your first employees<\/strong>, as they joined a completely different company back in the days, and might not want to follow the new direction.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"3.27.4\" _i=\"1\" _address=\"5.1.1\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.27.4\" text_font=\"||||||||\" text_font_size=\"16px\" header_font=\"||||||||\" text_orientation=\"justified\" max_width=\"90%\" module_alignment=\"center\" custom_margin=\"3%|0px|5%|0px|false|false\" custom_padding=\"|2%|0px|2%|false|false\" animation_style=\"flip\" animation_direction=\"left\" animation_intensity_flip=\"30%\" animation_starting_opacity=\"100%\" hover_enabled=\"0\" _i=\"0\" _address=\"5.1.1.0\"]\n\nUntil you find the right permanent employees for those tasks, hire an interim manager<\/strong> who\u2019ll be on board and ready to start working within days instead of months<\/a>.\n\nIn comparison to outsourcing the tasks, this offers the benefit of getting to know a potential future employee \u2013 or at least learn who you are looking for. Only employ those who prove successful<\/strong> and fit your culture<\/strong>. When your business is changing so quickly, you can never be sure whether happy employees today will still align with your goals, tomorrow.\n\nInterim managers are free from your past. They always draw their motivation from the current project and challenge<\/strong>. As interim managers are usually not interested in equity, this also helps to avoid conflicts around this topic \u2013 another typical pitfall for growing startups.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" disabled_on=\"off|off|on\" admin_label=\"Quote Section\" _builder_version=\"3.27.4\" background_color=\"#ffffff\" use_background_color_gradient=\"on\" background_color_gradient_start=\"#ffffff\" background_color_gradient_end=\"#ffffff\" background_color_gradient_direction=\"105deg\" background_color_gradient_start_position=\"55%\" background_color_gradient_end_position=\"0%\" background_color_gradient_overlays_image=\"on\" background_enable_image=\"off\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||0px|||\" top_divider_style=\"slant\" top_divider_color=\"#e8e8e8\" top_divider_flip=\"horizontal\" bottom_divider_style=\"slant\" bottom_divider_color=\"#002c3e\" bottom_divider_flip=\"horizontal\" saved_tabs=\"all\" fb_built=\"1\" _i=\"6\" _address=\"6\" background_color_gradient_end_preview=\"#e8e8e8\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"3.27.4\" width=\"90%\" custom_margin=\"|0px||auto|false|false\" custom_padding=\"80px|56px|73px|0px|false|false\" _i=\"0\" _address=\"6.0\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"3.27.4\" _i=\"0\" _address=\"6.0.0\"][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Title\" _builder_version=\"3.27.4\" text_font=\"||||||||\" header_font=\"Prata||||||||\" header_2_font=\"Montserrat|700|||||||\" header_2_text_align=\"center\" header_2_font_size=\"32px\" text_orientation=\"center\" width=\"70%\" module_alignment=\"center\" custom_margin=\"2.4%|-7px|1px|-181px|false|false\" custom_padding=\"|0px||0px|false|false\" animation_style=\"fade\" animation_direction=\"top\" animation_duration=\"1350ms\" animation_starting_opacity=\"100%\" inline_fonts=\"Prata,Montserrat\" _i=\"0\" _address=\"6.0.0.0\"]\n

        More customers are buying your products. Why should you be worrying about money<\/strong> then?<\/p>\n

        When you started out, you probably optimised your production, services, customer support and infrastructure for serving only a few customers to their highest satisfaction<\/strong> at an affordable price.<\/p>\n

        Rightly, you didn\u2019t focus on profit, but on gaining market share by making your clients come back and eventually recommend you.<\/p>\n

        Now that demand for your products or services has gone up, you might need more employees or a whole new infrastructure<\/strong> to satisfy it.
