Incentives are everything.

You are capable of far more than you assume.

• Most of what holds us back is inherited assumption we never chose to question.
• Drop the assumptions and only physics is left to stop you.

The taboo against managing closely does more harm than the meddling it fears.

• Give exceptional people real authority, then trust their judgment.
• The aim is not to avoid every mistake. It is to reach a level of excellence no one else comes near.
• The occasional cost of that is a price worth paying.

Move fast. It compounds.

• Speed means touching reality more often, so you learn more in less time.
• Pace forces focus. At speed there is no room for what does not matter.
