I thought his talk was refreshing. We may put bucket these 11 things as a cliche of the silicon valley startup, but sometimes I wish my company (revenue 50+ Billion $) would adopt some of these principles. That's a distant dream unfortunately.

The question I have is - how can we figure out a way to run a company that is very large and also abide by these agile, dextrous principles? Is it that the solution doesn't exist? I have heard somewhere between 50-500 people where the company becomes very beauracratic and impossible to run efficiently. Or is there a specific kind of leadership that is needed?

Is this in reference to Ajey Gore's talk? There's a couple of videos on the page.

Yes, he is talking about 11 principles that "nobody talks about but should."

Ups (opening keynote) and downs (closing keynote), and interesting ones in the middle. It's hard to unsee the “2nd - 4TH“.

When I saw GopherCon I thought it was talking about Gopher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol).
