I think it’s going great! I think our combined skillset is a big pro when reviewing work, considering project ideas. In general, I think bouncing ideas off each other improves and sharpens our ideas. We are definitely able to cover more depth and breadth with the two of us than if only one person was leading the organization.
Additionally, Peter and I get along great and I enjoy working alongside him everyday (well, digitally anyway given we are remote).
I also think having a co-Executive Director is great. As Marcus said, we complement each other very well—Marcus is more meticulous and detail-oriented than me, whereas I tend to be more “visionary”. I definitely think we need both.
We also share responsibilities and handle disagreements very well, and we have a trusted tie-breaking system. We’ve thought a few times about whether this merits splitting into CEO / COO or something similar and it hasn’t ever made as much sense as our current system.
How’s having two executive directors going?
