Talented leaders don’t achieve ambitious goals
by predicting the future.They focus on anticipating their next move instead,
slightly ahead of their competitors.
2
Your brain stores memories from experiences;
use them to build mental models of recurring patterns.
3
Developing a more predictive brain starts with a commitment to continually process & synthesize
huge chunks of data -always in real time.
4
The leader who’s continually honing her mental models
isn’t afraid to let her instincts guide important decisions.
5
When you ‘know thyself’, you trust thatdecisions made in two seconds will often be more accurate
than those made after months of analysis.
6
Remember that Data is not knowledge;It’s the depth & relevance of the data that will make the difference.
7
Speed to market is an operational strategy
that distinguishes today’s market leaders.
8
Organizations who lead with culture and values rather than management
dictate not only ignite greatness in people,
more importantly, they redefine the game for their competitors.
9
Instead of thinking outside the box, try thinking outside the rules instead.
next time you’re stuck, ask, “if none of the rules applied to me, how would I take action?”
