I'm Scared Of One Man, One Vote

The Pain Of Problems Is A Call To Find Solutions Rather Than A Reason For Unhappiness And Inaction, So It's Silly, Pointless, And Harmful To Be Upset At The Problems And Choices That Come At You (though It’s Understandable).

Do Not Feel Bad About Your Mistakes Or Those Of Others. Love Them! Remember That One: They Are To Be Expected; Two: They're The First And Most Essential Part Of The Learning Process; And Three: Feeling Bad About Them Will Prevent You From Getting Better.

The World Is Still In Deleveraging.

In Order To Get Past Disagreements, You Just Can't Have One Person With Power Decide. In Other Words, So Just Because I'm A Boss, It Would Be Terrible If I Then Said, "okay, We're Gonna Go Do This." That's Why, After That Thoughtful Disagreement, There Has To Be A Process Of An Idea Meritocracy. That Means Okay, Now You Have To Vote, Not That The Decision Resides With Power. And Then You Vote And Move Beyond It.

Know What Your People Are Like, And Make Sure They Do Their Jobs Excellently.
