Principles

4 basic records of 5

Principles are our summary of their public statements.

  • Prioritize Action Over Perfection

    Leadership

    Effective leaders focus on getting work done rather than obsessing over perfect wording or outcomes. Perfectionism is an external distraction based on others' opinions rather than internal goals.

    Supporting quotes

    • the biggest mistake people make is not acknowledging fear and uncertainty.
      Perfectionism is not motivated internally. Perfectionism is about what people will think. And you do not see effective leaders in corporations sitting on an email for three hours to make sure it's worded just perfectly.
      Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage.

  • Embrace Vulnerability as Strength

    Mindset

    Vulnerability is the core of meaningful experiences like joy and innovation. Attempting to be invulnerable or avoiding difficult emotions only increases fear in the long run.

  • Stay Curious Under Pressure

    Learning

    When faced with challenging information, resist the urge to choose comfort. Invite new data and stay curious instead of rejecting things that cause cognitive dissonance.
