from Human Powered: High-performing agency & consultancy teams · host Trenton Moss: Exited agency founder & bestselling author
How do you maintain a high-performing team when growing from zero to 100 people Danny Bluestone is Founder and CEO of Cyber-Duck. He started the agency in 2005 and grew it to 100 people. Last year they were acquired by CACI. In this episode, Danny shares how he: - Balanced the competing needs of financial performance and the all-important people aspects - Built a culture around adaptability, accountability, selflessness and having an entrepreneurial spirit - Embedded the right type of behaviours both when the business was small and then when it became larger - Implemented a recruitment process as rigorous as Google’s, based on their three pillars of exceptional talent - Created a mission for each individual in the team aligned to their business plan - Recruited the wrong people in the early days and had to deal with a large-scale team rebellion Danny talks candidly about what worked well and what didn’t, during his almost 20-year agency journey.
