When looking at an income statement, these 7 questions are all that you need:

[Teddy Mitrosilis @TMitrosilis]

Navy SEALs have a saying.

When something sucks, they say: "Full benefit."

Instant mindset shift.

• Hiking + it pours rain? Full benefit.
• Lose a draft of a project? Full benefit.
• Driving + car breaks down? Full benefit.

Adversity makes us better if we let it.

All acquisitions need a strong and well-managed integration plan, great reminders in this thread.

[Steve Ressler @steveressler]

Many entrepreneurs aspire for an acquisition. But nobody talks what it's like in your first year after an acquisition. And how to make it a success for all involved. Here's my 8 tips on succeeding in the 1st year post acquisition 🧵

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

An ambitious goal raises your odds of success. It also boosts your odds of feeling like a failure.

My favorite solution is to set 2 targets: an aspirational goal and an acceptable result.

If you fall short of the aspirational goal but hit the acceptable one, you haven't failed.

[Josh Schultz @joshuamschultz]

Optimizing isn't about getting better efficiency...

... its about getting better results.

Sometimes actually realizing better results means you do something less efficiently.

Simplifying tests the limits of what you know. Anyone who has kids or writes too many powerpoints can relate. Great reminders here.

Fascinating stuff. I think most successful folks think like this whether they know it or not.

Great thread. Operations should create and deliver value, acting as the connectors, enablers and problem-solvers for commercial solutions.

I also know that I want my

This is really good from @profgalloway

Economy 1.0: Digitization
Economy 2.0: Globalization
Economy 3.0: Dispersion

Dispersion has potential to disrupt 25+% of the economy. To make it through equitably, it will require an unparalleled level of consciousness.
