Is it a little cloud with some rain and a little lightning thing?

Oh, okay, at three o'clock?

All right, that's all I need.

Give me a data compressed version of the deep insight that's actionable.

And I think if we design our dashboards to have really good data compression and AI can help with this in a big way, have really great data compression, then we can manage a lot of detail and a lot of complexity seamlessly.

Yes, yes, yes.

So there are three behaviors that we've seen and we've seen them so often.

I actually call them the three predictors of success.

So the first one is, is this leader leading with initiative most of the time or are they responding to the flow of events most of the time?

and the best leaders are about two thirds one third two thirds of the time they are pushing the envelope they are leading with initiative they know where they want to go they're in the process of getting there and they're building the teams and the systems the infrastructure make that happen and then about a third of the time they're responding to the flow of events and what's going on in the world and customers and everything else

And that ratio is kind of a magic ratio.

So that's the first dimension.

The second dimension is internal focus versus external focus.

So internal focus, companies that are really internally oriented and worried about their own dashboards, Kodak really fell into this process in a big way.

They lived in Rochester.

They forgot to get out into the world.

And that internal focus blinded them to what was happening, blinded them to the significance of the very digital photography that they invented.

They let their internal orientation blind them to seeing what was possible and the threats that were coming.

But external focus alone isn't good either.

If you're all other focused, you don't get done what you need to get done.
