I came across this article by Malcolm Gladwell the other day and it almost perfectly summed up my views on how to run a company. In a nutshell, vision is overrated. To be successful is to experiment and then promote the good, and drop the bad. This goes for hiring, product development, marketing, and sales. Seems simple but virtually no one wants to admit that they can’t see the future. From the article, “A prediction, in a field where prediction is not possible, is no more than a prejudice.”.
Comments welcome.
