Zuora创始人兼首席执行官成功三分靠自身七分靠环境

We have this phrase in the company: We have one CEO, but we have 350 “ZEOs.” We like putting “z” in front of everything. But how do you have 350 ZEOs who feel empowered, and point them all in the same direction? That’s one of the big challenges of our scale. We hope we can continue on a track to keep doubling every 12 to 18 months. We want to be 1,000 people in the near future. But how do we put in a structure to have us all work together so that we don’t cave in on ourselves? That’s the biggest challenge we have right now.

我们的公司处在这样一个阶段：我们有一名CEO，但有350名ZEO。我们喜欢在所有的东西前面都加一个“z”。但你怎么才能让这350名ZEO都觉得充满动力，同时引导他们朝着同一个方向迈进呢？这是在当前规模下我们面临的最大挑战之一。我们希望自己能保持每12-18个月规模翻番的速度。我们想在短期内拥有1000名员工。但我们要建立怎样的机制才能让所有人都携手努力，以免功亏一篑呢？这就是目前我们面临的最大挑战。

I do a lot of international travel now, and I always thought it would be good to work overseas for a couple of years. I had a couple of opportunities to do so in my career, and for various reasons, usually personal ones, I didn’t choose to take it. But I think in today’s world, where the world is much smaller, technology is spreading much faster, and you have to have an international perspective. I just did this trip through Asia, and their use of mobile phones and mobile apps actually exceeds what we have here, even in our Silicon Valley bubble. So I would encourage people today to move around internationally. Try to work in different places because I think you need perspective going forward as opposed to have a U.S.-centric view of the world.
