Episode notes
Build New Institutions, Don't Reform Old Ones
- Building new conservative institutions beats trying to reform liberalized ones.
- Surround yourself with people who already believe the mission to avoid slow liberalization.
Give Responsibility, Not Micromanagement
- Hire capable men and give them full responsibility with accountability rather than micromanaging.
- Trust competent teammates to run projects and measure by outcomes, not time in the office.
Promote By Proven Competence
- Promote men who repeatedly succeed at tasks and then give them more responsibility.
- Reward initiative by expanding roles rather than forcing rigid career ladders.
