Ship it fast. Break it fast. Fix it fast.
In many situations, that’s my mantra.
But speed amplifies trajectory. If your trajectory is wrong, getting there faster may not help.
Automating tasks that don’t need doing doesn’t help. Optimizing a non-functional system doesn’t help. Parallelizing dependent work doesn’t help.
Solving the wrong problem faster doesn’t help.
As a leader, your fundamental job is to ensure your team is solving the right problems.
Ask better questions. Have better conversations. Solve better problems.
