If you're going to do it this month, why can't you do it now?
And that sense of urgency...
Getting stuff done fast really, really matters because companies, I think, are 5%, 10% strategy and 90%, 95% execution.
And execution is getting stuff done quickly, right?
One, hiring the right people who want to get everything done yesterday.
People that are wired that way already.
People who you have to hold back and not push forward.
You yourself as the leader constantly keeping this expectation of wanting to move quickly, never showing any level of complacency whatsoever, wanting to get stuff done very, very quickly.
My guess is you see that, you, Patrick, see that in the tech startups that you invest in.
They're building new products that are disrupting new categories that every minute, hour, day count, and they need to move quickly to either get to the next round or get to the next customer.
And you try to bring that same sense of urgency that exists if you're a tech startup with finite amount of cash to a mature business that's highly cashflow generative
Coupled with extreme levels of transparency.
which I also learned from Alex and the guys.
You set these big, hairy, ambitious goals for the company, and you're constantly letting everyone know how you as senior leaders and the company as a whole is tracking.
Because if you're not giving people visibility into this,
They might not understand why you're asking for it and acting with such a sense of urgency.
The other piece that's crucial to this is making sure everyone's incentives are aligned.
And that matters a lot.
So as leaders in the company, one level down and two levels down and three levels down, everybody having stock or stock options, knowing that the way that we're gonna create value here, the value creation will cascade itself down throughout the organization.
and having everyone's incentives and goals and systems aligned.
