| Before clicking, I thought the article is about someone who only thinks in "system" and not able to deliver concrete things. How wrong I was. "Give yourself permission to let the organisation fail". I agree. As someone is similar situation, the job is to let the "design of system" be heard, be debated and be implemented once green-light. You cannot convince the decision making body (be it the CEO, management, or a design committee) that your idea is the right one for 3 reasons IMO - idea could be wrong - People won't know what you are talking about unless they had the first hand experience. (A la you don't know what it is like to be a bat) - Your meritocracy is limited to a small group of decision making body If you see the "system" broad enough, you will see a market. It is essentially preaching your "system" to a wider audience. Your system maybe wrong, for which your start up will die or you devise another system. Or you are reaching whole bunch of people who understands your (the initial niche), and your living does not depend on a single decision body but a market. Convincing one body is hard, but broadcasting whatever you believe, some will respond eventually. This is why start up is great. |
