CZ just announced the release of the pledge, and it got me thinking back to when Binance hit that milestone of 5,000 employees. That was a huge example of large-scale distributed management!
I remember thinking, if @CZ ever shared how he and his team pulled that off in a business school setting, it would create a real buzz worldwide. I’m not talking about the usual ethical standards or benchmark codes, but the nitty-gritty details like skill training and practical tools they used.
Given that CZ has stepped back into the background and mentioned a focus on education, I wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually shares those insights. It would be fascinating to learn from someone who has navigated such rapid growth! What do you think would be the most valuable lessons for others?
