Today’s guest is Tony Xu, Cofounder and CEO of Doordash.
Getting a nice tasty burrito delivered to your door may seem pretty straightforward.
But when you think about all the moving parts – vendors, drivers, logistics, traffic, weather, technology – there are a lot of places where problems can pop up!
Tony and his team love to solve those problems. And they do it by breaking them down to their smallest details, so they really get clear on what’s happening.
At Doordash, Tony is creating a culture of action and ownership – where his people have both the skills AND the attitude they need to really dig into details.
To be honest, we leaders sometimes overlook those nitty gritty details. And that can be costly, because we never get the full understanding and clarity we really need to solve the problem.
Great leaders have to deal in reality. And sometimes, reality is really detailed.
Tony is a great leader who has the curiosity and hard work it takes to break problems down into detailed pieces – and there’s a lot we can learn from him!
