Travis Kalanick is clearly an adrenaline junkie. I understand the start-up CEOs need to be bold but he seems to completely lack the ability to evaluate and minimize risk. Good strategy isn't just about winning every battle, it's also about avoiding the battles you don't need to fight. Travis seems like he's never seen a fight he won't jump into. It's wild.

That reminds me of Sun Tzu. It also reminds me of, I forget who, maybe Jobs, who said not to even compete, just make your competition irrelevant. Ie. Find a way to not even have to fight the battles.

Uber can't make government irrelevant.
