The Sunday Summary: Strategy, attributes, and escaping the algorithms

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, September 9: Never stop doubting
“Consensus is not always good; disagreement not always bad. If you do happen to agree, don’t take that agreement — in itself — as proof that you are right. Never stop doubting.”

Tue, September 10: Strategy lasts longer than tactics
“What you need to get comfortable with then, is this blend of stasis and movement: stasis at the strategic level, movement at the executional level.”

Wed, September 11: Your experience is someone else’s benefit
“Pro tip: Your experience is someone else’s benefit. Often the best people are like you were in the past or in industries you already have worked, even if it’s just as an employee. Your past experience leaves clues.”

Thu, September 12: It doesn’t matter what you think your customers “should” care about
“What you think they “should” care about is nothing. What they do, in fact, care about is everything. So whatever you do, make sure you operate honestly and realistically within those boundaries.”
