Blitzscaling your company isn’t easy; if it were, everyone would do it. Like most things of value in this world, blitzscaling is contrarian and unique.

To succeed, you’ll have to violate many of the management “rules” that are designed for efficiency and risk minimization. In honor of the launch of Blitzscaling, here are the 9 Counterintuitive Rules of #Blitzscaling...

Rule #1: Embrace Chaos.
Traditional business strives for order and regularity in management, operations, and financial results. But when you're blitzscaling, the focus on order needs to be replaced with a willingness to embrace a level of chaos that would horrify most MBAs.

Rule #2: Hire Ms. Right Now, Not Ms. Right.
You need managers and executives who are “just right” for the current phase of growth. After all, you won’t have to worry about that next phase if your team can’t actually get you there.

Rule #3: Practice “Bad” Management.
When your org is growing 300% per year, you might have to promote people before they’re ready, and then swap them out if they sink rather than swim. You don’t have time to wait for things to “work out”. You have to act quickly and decisively.
