Chairing Software Scale-Ups

In the eighth episode of ‘How to Scale’ we discuss the role of the Chair at software companies through the scale-up stage. Host Jens Düing speaks with fellow Senior Partner, Mike Reid, and Frog’s in-house psychologist and Team Development Operating Partner, John Sutherland, who have put together a Chairing Framework, which forms the basis for our discussion.

Put together in collaboration with Frog’s wider network of Chairs, it examines the five key elements a Chair will focus on:

1. Strategic time horizon
2. Balancing Stakeholder focus
3. Governance/ Mentoring approach
4. Adaptive/ Intentional style
5. Development strategy
