“I’ve often said that starting a company is like jumping off a cliff and assembling a plane on the way down.” Reid Hoffman

The beauty of the Masters of Scale courses app is that it lowers the barriers to entrepreneurship.

Of course you learn by doing. Reading and going through quality content is necessary but insufficient. That is where Network Capital comes in. Our live cohort-based courses like the CEO Fellowship, D2C Fellowship and “I don’t know what I want to do with my life” Fellowship are designed to help you conduct low-risk micro-experiments so that you can build your category of one step by step, ferociously.

Lesson: Welcome the Whole Self, with PepsiCo’s Indra Nooyi

Key Takeaways: 

Recognizing your employees as human beings isn’t just good for them – it’s good for your entire company.

  1. Every employee – every leader too – is a whole person, apart from their job: The best leaders not only remember this, but find unique ways to celebrate it.

  1. A good balance attracts a better team: This balance signifies a long-term investment in your employees, signaling that they can make lasting contributions to your company.

  1. You have to build systems: It’s not enough to say that you care about your team and their lives, you have to build systems that support them.

  1. Find the joy: Chances are you see your team more often than some of your closest friends – why not make that a rewarding experience for all of you?

The Masters of Scale Courses app is a powerful tool that cultivates a winning mindset in growth-focused leaders at any level. Each course is divided into short-form audio bites called ‘Daily Practices,’ lead by Reid Hoffman and some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. Each Daily Practice unlocks surprising truths about scaling a business (the stuff we don’t learn in school), with actions to put into practice right away. In the app, you’ll earn a beautifully designed certificate upon completion of each course.

If you’d like to hear more from Masters of Scale Courses, we’re pleased to be able to offer an exclusive 50% discount on annual membership to the app. Redeem promo code NETWORKCAPITAL at join.mastersofscale.com/networkcaptial.
