Co-Founder and CEO Delivery Hero

#DeliveryHero last 10 years 0 to over €30,000,000,000 sales volume 0 to 8,000,000 daily orders 0 to 27,000 employees 10 good advices I've received over the last 10 years. Agree/disagree? 1. Speed beats perfection almost every time 2. Most decisions are of "revolving door" nature. Don't waste time overanalysing. (thanks Jeff Bezos) 3. Being yourself is always better than a loosy copy of someone else 4. Focus on gradual improvements rather than step change 5. It's rarely too late to enter a market with better customer experience, see Zoom vs Skype or Google meets. 6. Hire people with heart. Heart really matters. It's not just about talent. (thanks Elon Musk) 7. Getting 1 thing right can compensates for being wrong 10 times. 8. Almost always better to let teams try, fail and learn than stop them from trying 9. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. (thanks Steve Jobs) 10. Stay down to earth. Your success is driven by a ton of luck, coincidence and amazing people around you.

Sehr geehrter Herr Östberg. Anstatt die Welt weiter mit solchen Plattheiten zu "beglücken", sollten Sie endlich das tun, was insbesondere Ihre Anleger von einem Unternehmer erwarten, einfach Gewinn erwirtschaften, Geld verdienen. Sie haben in Ihrer Aufzählung nämlich vergessen, daß Sie durch Ihre unternehmerische Unfähigkeit bisher nur Anlegergelder verbrannt und allein in den letzten Monaten ca. 27 Mrd. € Börsenwert vernichtet haben. Und kommen Sie mir nicht mit irgendwelchen Ausreden, der Markt ist schwierig, o.ä. .... Sie als CEO tragen allein die Verantwortung für unternehmerischen Erfolg oder eben Misserfolg. Wenn der Aufsichtsrat nicht so korrupt wäre, hätten Sie sich schon längst einen anderen Job suchen müssen. Vielleicht versuchen Sie es mal als Auslieferfahrer bei Lieferando. Aber doch lieber nicht, dann kommt keine Lieferung mehr an😡😡😡

Really helpful and some counter-intuitive tips! In particular n.7 I just red also in “Psychology of Money” of Morgan Housel: “You can be wrong half the time and still be extremely successful”

This is spot on Niklas. Thanks for sharing! This is an inspiration to new entrepreneurs and proof that platform companies from the Nordic Countries can really become dominant.
