I actually really liked her first book, Thinking In Bets; it really helped me help a friend who was so often paralyzed in making decisions when she couldn’t predict the different outcomes with 100% certainty.
I knew a guy who was a startup/VC graybeard and he once told me “bad startups make a handful of mistakes, good startups make a lot” what he meant was leadership at bad startups usually has irrational conviction into an idea despite overwhelming evidence that it doesn’t work. They waste a ton of money and time perusing the bad idea. A couple of those mistakes bankrupts the company. Good leaders try a lot of things, and are very quick to abandon it once data clearly indicates it’s not working. They get to try a lot more ideas this way and thus more likely to strike gold
I want to win a copy of “Quit: My Twitter Odyssey” by Jesse Singal
