In the tenth session of this 12 part series, join status' core contributors as we discuss and debate to which degree we uphold our principles, how we can improve our performance, and what we're adding to our Wall of Shame.
We are relentlessly resourceful. As we grow and have ready access to capital, it is our obligation to token holders to fight bureaucracy and inefficiencies within the organization. This means solving problems in the most effective way possible at lower economic costs (in terms of capital, time and resources

Resourcefulness Session Notes (reprinted below)
[Michael]
My primary impression is that we're inefficient as a company, and inefficient as a DAO (because we don't have one). Lack of understanding how to get from company -> DAO.
[Corey]
Yes, but it's partially my fault because I spread myself thin. There's no strong guiding beacon to put you on the right path. It's worthwhile to figure this out, but there's no good model because it doesn't exist.
[Michael]
There are some good examples (co-ops).
[JB]
No good example of an org that is; a) remote b) decentralized and c) leaderless
[Michael]
Should we have leaders?
[Corey]
There are some self appointed ones.
[Michael]
Mark E asked: Is there place for competent? Or does everyone have to be a rockstar?
Classic start up territory. We're all wearing multiple hats.
[Corey]
Don't think we can resolve some of these conflicts. We're prioritising some of these priorities. Upholding other principles may come at the cost of efficiency. Slack was efficient. It was easy to communicate. We're taking a trade-off by moving away from slack.
[Michael]
Are we being resourceful in doing these seminars?
[Corey]
Yes, people are being heard. Leads to quality discussions in Prague - should be really productive.
[Michael]
Should we do this quarterly? At what pace should we have these discussions?
[Chad]
We should take a moment to celebrate our wins.
[Michael]
We're all too hard on ourselves - we've done great work.
[Oskar]
Think about it as a book of opportunity. As our collective brains get upgraded, we should discuss again.
