Loktev shared, "Sometimes you want to create chaos in an organization to push the organization to think creatively and to actually make leaps in product development." He admires how Chesky deliberately disrupts the norm to stimulate creativity and innovation.
"Hey, I just don't feel good. Something feels off," Chesky observed. Despite outward appearances of success, he recognized the 'too calm' environment and insisted on a radical shift of project timelines, emphasizing the importance of dynamism.
Chesky's approach strongly advocated for hands-on involvement, where he would jump into 'founder mode', deeply engaging with details across projects to ensure their success and inspire those around him.
Loktev reflected, "That chaos forced us, with our artificial time constraint, to rethink and reconceptualize how we approached a project, leading to surprisingly rapid results and creativity.
