Modern CTO
Highlights
- Being a leader means communicating complex ideas simply. Youâve got to make high-level ideas stick in their minds. The easier it is to understand something I make, the more people will spread the word. (Location 131)
- âVery few people or companies can clearly articulate WHY they do WHAT they do.... (Location 134)
- âThe most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said.â Silence may actually be a problem screaming for attention. (Location 140)
- Imagination and execution together will take you wherever you want to go in life. (Location 147)
- A product is something âmanufactured or refined for sale.â Perfect. Itâs the refinement process that separates the prototype from the MVP. (Location 215)
- Take the focus off the process, and place it on the value. Injecting business focus into your daily standup meetings avoids the natural tendency to get caught-up in the details. By continuously bringing the business into the conversation, I eliminate over-engineering and drive momentum instead. (Location 263)
- Problems appear all too frequently in the name of "efficiency" or "optimization." When I see this, I immediately tell people to stop thinking in terms of adding value to the platform. Instead, think of how to add value to the customer. (Location 266)
- The greater the distance a person feels from the top tier, the less they feel a part of the team. (Location 301)
- set the pace with a sequence of smallânearly guaranteedâwins that lead us to eventual bigger victories. This is how I create momentum, even at a place that appears dead. (Location 303)
- Exponential vision means you see that a series of small goals will fulfill milestones, and a series of milestones will lead to explosive growth. (Location 327)
- the only way we can get there is by taking the basic first principles and repeating them over and over again. You build momentum, and that momentum eventually gets magnified exponentially. (Location 330)
- If you have people constantly having to redo the same thing, itâs the quickest way to destroy momentum. (Location 364)
- Another way to kill momentum is to change something and then change it back. I call them âre-changes.â It's a rude thing to do. (Location 383)
