So myself and 3 other friends are about to start a company we are doing the market research and feasibility study and it seems all promising.
However, the issue is I am employed in a multinational company with somewhat a position where interact with managers some leadership duties, while my friends are either freelancers/unemployed with not such a successful career.
The dispute is about management, I would like to apply some project management principals and methodologies at the very beginning assigning tasks measurable deliverable each week and task definitions perhaps even a project plan. My colleagues on the other hand say that's way ahead and startup can't function as multinational and since we are partners on equal footing although am assigned to do the plan and business owners there shouldn't be governance on their task since one is sales other technical other marketing manager and I should enforce rule on their underlings in the future if the company grows.
Please tell me which approach is right as to me they are just chaotic unprofessional and to them I am too strict.
Also if you could please share a link that could settle the argument I would really appreciate it. sorry for the long post.
