I actually, I'm not sure I agree with even with a statement. I think it's perfectly, there's this trope that, you know, any decision is better than no decision. And I've never believed that. I think that sometimes you have to make a lot of decisions as a founder all the time. Well, I think no decision is a decision. So this is the thing.

If you make a conscious decision not to decide on something because you don't have the information right now that you're required to make it, I think it's totally fine. And I think people should make much more use of that rather than randomly going, I'm going to go for this one. It's just one of the many things that LinkedIn screwed up. There's so many pieces of wisdom on LinkedIn that are wrong.

It's just like all this work smart, not hard stuff, being a servant leader. Why is work smart, not hard bullshit? Because you need to do both, clearly. You're always out-competed by someone who works smart and hard if you're a work smart, not hard person.

You need to lead a company and you should not be afraid to say that. If you're the founder of a company, we made the decision for Helsing as well that we are a founder-led company. And we are all here to basically serve the company, to make the company successful. That's what we do. And the founders provide the vision and the direction. And if you like it, great.

If you don't like it, you don't have to work there. What have you changed your mind on in the last 12 months? I used to think that you needed to make sure that there was always a degree of process when teams work together on something, including something new.

Just let them get on with the job without any stand-ups, any predictions on deadlines. Nothing.
