Episode notes
Leader As Lighthouse
- A firm must be a benevolent autocracy to achieve a coherent long-term mission.
- The leader sets a lighthouse agenda and gathers people who choose to follow that vision.
Employees Are Individual Democracies
- Employees act as individual democracies making choices about their own futures.
- Leaders must think about the future while employees keep the firm grounded in the present.

- Prefer repeated imperfect decisions over paralysis to maintain leadership and momentum.
