Becoming a conscious leader: Leading without fear, finding your lifeâs objective function, and getting better at vision and strategy | John Mark Nickels (Uber, Waymo, DoorDash)
Lenny's Podcast: Product | Growth | Career
Focus on What Matters
đŹ "Get clear on your objective function."
- Consider your future self when making decisions. What will matter five years from now?
- Prioritize relationships and experiences over short-term work gains.
- Be mindful of your mortality. This awareness helps re-evaluate priorities and avoid wasting time on less important things.
- Spend time with loved ones. Ask yourself: "What would I wish I had done when I'm on my last breath?"
- Remember, children are often the only ones who notice and are affected by long working hours.
Key takeaway: Focus on building meaningful relationships and experiences, as those are the things that will ultimately matter most.
