Importance of Face Reality as It Is
One of the core principles in David Shane's book is to face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be. He learned this lesson from a book summary about Jack Welsh, the legendary CEO of General Electric. David emphasizes the importance of facing the current reality, even if it differs from the past or our wishes. By acknowledging and adapting to the present circumstances, founders can navigate challenges and make necessary changes to succeed.
