In an effort to help me keep up with everything I post each week, here is my latest “Sunday Summary” of my posts from the week.
Mon, August 5: Know, respect, trust
“Know, like, trust” –> “Know, respect, trust”?
Tue, August 6: Founders shouldn’t be hireable
“Really, the way I think about a founder is like you’re developing skills that you can’t hire for. You’re gonna hire for everything else, but you shouldn’t be hireable.”
Wed, August 7: Be willing to look bad
“Show me a guy who’s afraid to look bad, and I’ll show you a guy you can beat every time.”
Thu, August 8: Your calendar must be telling the truth
“The way I think about my calendar is that it is a tool that has to always be telling me the truth. So if it exists on the calendar, it actually exists. And if it doesn’t exist on the calendar, it doesn’t exist.”
Fri, August 9: What books do you like?
“One of the best ways to find creative people is to ask a simple question. What books do you like? I’ve never met a creative person in my life that didn’t respond with enthusiasm to a question about reading habits.”
Sat, August 10: Never manage people who don’t need to be managed
While I certainly appreciate that processes exist for a reason and there are times to square things back up, when people are working hard to get things done it’s often best to stay out of their way. Ideally, employees should be lead, not managed.
I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
