Warren Buffett once said that Jamie Dimon is the best banker in the world. He also said that Dimon's shareholder letters should be mandatory reading for every investor.

Too many leaders focus on making better decisions when instead they should focus on designing better decision-making processes. Design the process, decentralized the decisions.

We have choices: 1. be likable in our silent agreement (people-pleasing fear) 3. be respected in our courageous disagreement (courageous action) One optimizes for ego and reputation, the other optimizes for the truth. One optimizes for the short-term, the other for the long-term

Action produces information. Inaction produces speculation. We have the choice to be either guessers or learners.

In an age of ubiquitous information, a premium is placed on contextual knowledge. When you can access everything, all the time, the advantage accrues to those who can: 1) curate ubiquitous knowledge into signal vs. noise 2) apply the right/best knowledge to the context

I've always been struck by how upstream of the best strategy, analysis, and positioning, most decisions are a function of personality, posture, and stories of self of those in leadership. Upstream of strategy, there is always psychology.

@GeorgeBakka Agreed. Everything intoxicates though - too much of anything is bad.

@ewechu I would say though what alcohol is to the body, passion is to the mind. Both intoxicate.

Passion enslaves the mind. ~ EL
