At GrowthGuides, we have analysed over 500 teams in startups, scale-ups, and corporates. The results show that successful teams don’t just differ in what they do—they differ in how they adapt to change.
Key insights from the data
- Too many specialists? 72% of teams without generalists struggle with collaboration.
- CEOs who adjust their leadership style during growth perform 38% better than those who stick to their old approach.
- Teams that process feedback correctly increase their effectiveness by 41%, but 60% of teams get it wrong.
What successful teams do differently
- They measure and restructure their team at every new growth phase.
- They balance innovators with execution power.
- They understand that not everyone is role-flexible—and don’t force it.
- They don’t force generalists to be specialists—or vice versa.
