This week’s dispatch

MrBeast mode

MrBeast is YouTube’s biggest star, a philanthropist, and a snack entrepreneur. You can now add Silicon Valley thought leader to the list.

The social media star, real name Jimmy Donaldson, put together a handbook breaking down his secrets to success. The 36-page guide, intended for staffers at MrBeast Production, says Donaldson wants a team of obsessives who are coachable, don’t make excuses, and “are the best in the goddamn world at their job.”

The guide includes lines such as “take ownership and don’t give your project a chance to fail,” and “own shit so we can address how to fix it and then move on.”

When the document leaked, fans and wannabe employees poured through the pages. But so did Silicon Valley, where techies likened Donaldson’s approach to the hardcore “founder mode” style of leadership.

"I think this is resonating because it's so counter to the current trends in work culture today, which seem soft by comparison," one marketing advisor told Business Insider.
