The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And then the third thing I think is vision setting needs to have flexibility like massively.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And so people really and I haven't got this right.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

This is like of those of these three, these the first two, I've probably done the best job of improving at least.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And I'm not like excellent at them, but I've done a better job of improving.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

Number three is the hardest, which is

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

how do you vision set at the right level?

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

That I still struggle with massively, where sometimes, remember in like Q3 of last year, I wrote this like long doc and it was like the vision for the product for like five years or whatever, a long time.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And I think it was interpreted as like, okay, we should go build that right now.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

It was a huge mistake.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And we like missed some of our product timings and launches because I didn't do a good job communicating that.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And so like, what level of vision setting are you doing is a really important for building a company.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And I think I still need to do a much better job of that, of like, when do I do this super high level vision?

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And when do I do the like, no, no, what do we need to do today?

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

What do we need to do tomorrow?

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

Still struggle with that.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

I'm really proud of my team, like insanely proud of my team.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And it's hard because I like I have very high standards and I'm harsh.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

And actually, if they listen to this is probably the first time I'm saying I'm proud of my team.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

No, I like I can definitely be like pretty harsh.

The Knowledge Project
Winston Weinberg: Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions

But I think that like we have built a very resilient group of folks and they really care about the company.
