Now over Later.
We
focus
and subtract to move fast. We do things that are high leverage and delete
work that isn't.
Velocity is everything. Act now.
Simple over Sophisticated.
Simple is hard. We create simple solutions to problems. Simple
solutions reduce complexity, sophisticated solutions add it.
Complexity is bad; we fear it.
Ownership over Shared responsibility.
Ask three friends to water your plant while you are on vacation, and
your plant is most likely going to die.
Each project, initiative, area has a clear DRI (Direct Responsible
Individual) who is ultimately accountable for the success or failure. They
are empowered to make decisions and take risks.
Conviction over Compromise.
When making a decision - be it hiring, product, or business
- someone needs to have conviction. A "hell yes" and three nos is
better than four maybes.
Agency over Complacency.
Waiting for permission leads to
cost of delay. It's okay to occasionally step on people's toes. If solving a problem
doesn't go against physical laws, we find a way.
Whenever you are blocked, ask yourself:
"What would I do if I had 10x the agency?"
