As Klarna grew "senior execs" surrounded me demanding; focus, priority, strategy
Never felt right & never worked
Back to organic, iterative, testing tons of things
= worked
Don´t lead from "board room"
Lead from "trenches"
Now @nntaleb has given me a word for it:
Anti-fragile

If you want to start a startup, it's good to know about multiple, unrelated things. Startups often depend on 4 or 5 different kinds of knowledge, and it's great if they can all be found in 2 founders.

Historically, renaming things has not been a good sign. It usually falls on a continuum from bogus (liberty sausages) to totalitarian (Kampuchea). Though one end of this continuum is comparatively harmless, there is nothing good on it. Productive people have other things to do.

Underrated skill for founders: Altitude shifting.
People are often either good at high-level strategy or atomic-level execution, but rarely both.
It's the ability to zoom out & paint the 5 yr vision, and then drop down into the weeds of day-to-day, & see how the two connect.

Newly founded startups have no choice but to delight their customers. They don't have enough power to maltreat them.
One of the most important things the founders can do as the startup grows is to continue to insist on delighting customers.

One of our funny blind spots:
* When facing a headwind: we are very aware of it, and attribute our issues to it
* When benefiting from a tailwind: we’re often blissfully unaware of it, and attribute success to our own talent
Seeing this so often (including in myself)
