Sublime

Look at the machine from the higher level.

Observe the patterns of mistakes to see if they are products of weaknesses.

Don’t let loyalty to people stand in the way of truth and the well-being of the organization.

If a number of different believable people say you are doing something wrong and you are the only one who doesn’t see it that way, assume that you are probably biased.

Distinguish open-minded people from closed-minded people.

Create a Culture in Which It Is Okay to Make Mistakes and Unacceptable Not to Learn from Them

Identify and don’t tolerate problems.

Making a handful of good uncorrelated bets that are balanced and leveraged well is the surest way of having a lot of upside without being exposed to unacceptable downside.
