No single right way to lead exists
Every leader must discover it for themselves. Ask “does this make sense here?” not “how is it usually done?”

Small teams are faster
Overhead scales roughly quadratically with team size, while output scares linearly with # of humans — with possibly an exponential on the caliber of the person. This is why a team of 2 A players can move faster than a team of 2 A players + 10 B players.

A high bar is the key to life
Set a high bar. Hold yourself to it, hold others to it. Only work with people who want to be held to a high bar.

Self-awareness is the ultimate leverage multiplier
Know yourself so you can design systems that move you in the right direction.
