Silicon Valley accepts & often celebrates a flare and fail pathway to success. Do you think health start-ups and technology should be held to a higher standard than start ups from other sectors?
“Bad Blood” describes a toxic workplace & culture where critique & feedback were not tolerated, communication was vertical only and projects were siloed from each other. Have you seen aspects of these models in your own sector?
