4、

Incentives are superpowers; set them carefully

译：激励可谓“超能力”，但需要谨慎设置激励机制。

Concentrate your resources on a small number of high-conviction bets; this is easy to say but evidently hard to do. You can delete more stuff than you think

Communicate clearly and concisely

Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together

8、

Outcomes are what count; don't let good process excuse bad results

Spend more time recruiting. Take risks on high-potential people with a fast rate of improvement. Look for evidence of getting stuff done in addition to intelligence

Fast iteration can make up for a lot; it's usually ok to be wrong if you iterate quickly. Plans should be measured in decades, execution should be measured in weeks

Don't fight the business equivalent of the laws of physics
