43: John Cutler - Everything wrong with everything in a business
Manage episode 383535833 series 3409156
John Cutler is the best systems thinker I know. Whenever we talk, there’s a beautiful meta-analysis around systems happening. Why do we work the way we do? Why can we not figure out how to run businesses efficiently if we do it so often?
- Why do inexperienced, brilliant people constantly get into trouble, and how do they get out of it?
- Individual vs. team habits
- How much of our decisions is gut vs. objectivity
- Leadership porn and its connected biases
Timestamps:
6:50 How people throw words like “efficiency” and “productivity” around and do not understand them
13:25 Product operations is thinking about what can remain and what has to go in the future.
19:50 Growing pains vs. normal pains. Why do young, smart people constantly get into really bad situations with their businesses?
25:05 Experts will always tell you that things are simple. Why tips on LinkedIn don’t work but are still popular.
30:15 How to be consistent.
38:00 The unbeautiful side of establishing habits. Individual vs. team habits
50:20 Leadership “porn”, why you should not search for broken components in organizations. Going broad first before specific.
