In this episode, Noah reveals all, sharing the exclusive never-before-released AppSumo Teammate Handbook. This is how AppSumo efficiently runs an $80 million business and nurtures an incredible company culture.
Learn about our unique ethos, core values, and the dynamic operating manual that evolves with time. Discover how we approach money, experiments, teamwork, feedback, and scaling using a robust framework, while supporting the underdog.
If you work with 5 or more people it’s worth putting together your own teamwork handbook, what would be in yours?
In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:
Culture Club - Our success is rooted in its unique culture, influenced by principles like being resourceful, humble, and celebrating victories, while leaning on transparency, open communication, and a commitment to learning from failures.
Smooth Operator - The Teammate Handbook serves as a living document, evolving over time to reflect the company's values and practices. The manual covers diverse aspects, from financial approaches and experiments to teamwork, feedback, and scaling strategies, providing a comprehensive guide for efficient business operations.
Be your own Boss - Encouraging a sense of ownership at every level, from leadership to individual team members. The "lead by example" philosophy, coupled with open-door policies and an avoidance of committees, fosters an environment where everyone is empowered to contribute ideas and take responsibility for their work.
