“This must be awful for you. You get a job, and then next thing you know you’re dealing with a car chase, a bitchy manager, the SEC, and a boss dying to visit a secluded island with his admin assistant.â€� A slow grin grew on his face.
Mmâ€� when can we go?”

“[Trump] is also the personification of the merger of humans and corporations—a one man megabrand, whose wife and children are spin-off brands, with all the pathologies and conflicts of interest inherent in that. He is the embodiment of the belief that money and power provide license to impose one's will on others, whether that entitlement is expressed by grabbing women or grabbing the finite resources from a planet on the cusp of catastrophic warming. He is the product of a business culture that fetishizes "disruptors" who make their fortunes by flagrantly ignoring both laws and regularity standards. Most of all, he is the incarnation of a still-powerful free-market ideological project—one embraced by centrist parties as well as conservative ones—that wages war on everything public and commonly held, and imagines corporate CEOs and superheroes who will save humanity.”

“We set our heart on winning the peak of Mount Everest. We consider only being on top of the world and waving to the land is a success. But every step you need to take to be at the peak is a tiny success, aren’t they? So, to be on the peak of Mount Everest, you need to clinch approximately 85,238 tiny successes before you finally achieve the last one (the biggest success), the final step on the top. Aren’t each one is equally crucial?
A success deemed big is a sum of many smaller ones. A success considered prodigious is a sum of many crucial ones.”

“You are there to do the strategic thinking; be self-aware and have a growth mindset. But most of all, be aware of your ego and contain it to be of service to others.

“ignored the question of leadership altogether, because he wanted to avoid simplistic answers. But when he analyzed what the highest performing companies had in common, the nature of their CEOs jumped out at him. Every single one of them was led by an unassuming man like Darwin Smith. Those who worked with these leaders tended to describe them with the following words: quiet, humble, modest, reserved, shy, gracious, mild-mannered, self-effacing, understated. The lesson, says Collins, is clear. We don’t need giant personalities to transform companies. We need leaders who build not their own egos but the institutions they run.”
― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

“Hesitation is death.

A racecar driver doesn't have the liberty of thinking about the next turn for a week or so. They need to act or die.

A fighter jet pilot can't "think about things" when a bomb is heading their way, they need to act immediately and trust themselves to do the right thing, with their life being at actual stake.

An athlete can't stop mid-run to ask their wife if it's okay that they cross the finish line. They need to run like hell just set their feet on fire.

A CEO does not have the right to hesitate or ponder on things for days on end. You either do it or you don't, and if there's no impulse to act to the left or to the right, you are probably not a natural born decisionmaker.

Slow decisionmakers don't belong in top management. High performance people make high performance decisions at high speeds, they trust themselves, and they act.”
