Abeg, make I gist you wetin dey happen for the gaming world. Dis man wey dem call Gurhan Kiziloz no dey play at all! Dis guy don turn him private gaming group into one global goliath wey dey bring in over $1.2 billion yearly, no shaking!
Wetin make am different be say, him no get time for wahala. No board meetings, no emotional decision-making wey go slow progress. Na wetin we dey call ‘ruthless leadership style’! E just dey cut distractions like say na fufu we dey chop.
As him don launch him new venture, wey dem call BlockDAG, Gurhan carry di same iron-fist discipline go crypto. E gree say, ‘If you no fit contribute, you dey go!’ And dat’s why everybody dey look dis guy with serious eyes.
For him previous company, Nexus International, Gurhan dey always dey evaluate who dey do work well and who dey slow down things. E no get space for those wey dey bring kpalava. If you no fit deliver, na bye-bye you go hear!
One former executive wey work with am talk say, ‘Gurhan no dey allow noise. If you no dey help move project forward, you dey outside!’ Dis na leadership wey no dey take nonsense! E get focus like laser beam, and him dey protect di mission as if na him life depend on am.
Dis style dey bring fast results. While others dey sit down dey plan strategy, Gurhan dey don dey activate new markets. For example, when Brazil open im gaming regulation, all him competitors dey dey near meeting table, but Gurhan just check am finish within 20 minutes and boom, dem enter Brazil sharp-sharp!
Di fast decision mentality no dey come without wahala. Sometimes, e fit backfire. But Gurhan get philosophy wey say, ‘If I make mistake, I gree fix am quick quick, no time for delay.’ Na because e no dey wait for quarterly review or board approval to change course. If something no dey work, dem dey shift gear immediately.
Wetin make songs dey different na di tempo. Gurhan no dey look face; dem dey promote high performers fast, and everybody wey try slow dem down dey go collect e for backside! Other people wey dey run gaming businesses dey watch Nexus International with both eye of admiration and fear.
With all dis fast-paced movement, di question be, fit Gurhan maintain dis level of action for BlockDAG wey dey grow fast? Some industry standard may say, ‘as you dey grow, you need more structure.’ But Gurhan dey look dem like say dem no sabi wetin dem dey talk. For him, e need more people wey fit make fast decisions, not more layers of bureaucracy.
If we carry dis in mind, we fit ask, can Gurhan Kiziloz do am again for BlockDAG? Na wetin we go find out as e dey run di gaming empire.
