I feel you on "only A players" being a bromide – but I do think there are some counter-intuitive elements to "why do that" and "how to do that" and "what makes an A player anyway" that I tried to spell out.

Likewise with "It's not not your job"; there's definitely a conflict between "take ownership over the overall success of the business" and "focus instead of trying to do everything all the time", and I tried to nod toward this, but I do think both sides are true! You do want to focus AND you don't want to be saying "Well, the company failed by at least I did my job".

Anyway, these are definitely far from perfect but I'm throwing them out there anyway because I think they're better than nothing.

I'd love to see your criticisms in the form of annotations on the piece itself tho! Everyone should get to read them!
