Wanna be a great leader?
First Principles thinking is great, truly powerful stuff. And rare too!
But you know what’s even more rare?
Second Order thinking! Understanding that despite our best intentions, our actions often cause harm.
Taking responsibility for that? Vanishingly rare!
Do that, if you wanna be a truly great leader.
@george this reminds me of a conversation I had with a founder a while ago who told me he wasn’t sure if it was ethical to have friends and had to think long and hard about the implications of making such a commitment.
Sometimes we can overthink things and miss out on life. It’s getting that balance right I find most challenging.
