Interesting how being in charge makes your choices feel different

Interesting how being in charge makes your choices feel different.

While there is obvious pressure that comes with the territory for being the chief, there is also a freedom that can be architected by the following structure:

  1. Vision
  2. Mission
  3. Brand
  4. Customer

Each of the four becomes one side of a square, a one-dimensional “box”.

You are then clearly able to think inside the box.

This is the paradox of thinking outside the box.

It’s called organizational Identity.

It changes everything.

Including what you are (easily) willing to walk away from.

Try building something great without blueprints.

 

The good reason for doing the hard stuff first is that the easy stuff is always easier than the hard stuff.

Draw the blueprints first.

Sweat the foundation, the infrastructural, the design.

You can decide later whether the family room floor will be tile, wood or carpet.

It doesn’t matter if you are certain about your floor if the house never gets built.

The easy stuff should always come last when it comes to organizational architecture.
