Balanced views are not sexy enough?
All we hear is extremes, from politics and public discourse to discussions about work and management, all the way to nutrition advice and hobbies.
(It’s not just the algorithms.)
Bring back thinking and balanced opinions, I say
Regret is unhelpful.
It’s better to recognise you took the wrong path and course correct as soon as possible.
You will already be in a different position than where you started and you have to consider that, but keep your eyes on the goal.

Few decisions are truly permanent, but you can’t just go back to where you were. The business moved on and is adapting.
Reversibility is often possible. But it has a cost.
Before you make a tricky decision, consider: what does it actually cost to reverse this if you were wrong?
The early indicators you learn to look for are rather similar regardless of the type of business you are looking at.

A lot of the emails I get from founders are now written in a hard-hitting journalistic style. I know they're written by AI, because no founder ever wrote this way before. And once you realize something is written by AI, it's hard not to ignore it.
LAST CHANCE to join us for the free workshop I’m hosting on Maven at 11am EDT/ 4pm BST/ 5pm CEST TODAY.
The topic is one I am passionate about because I have seen it cause execution failures: I had been frustrated by it and I am pretty sure I had frustrated my teams with it too
Why Most Decisions Really Stall — And What to Do About It.
My goal is to give you practical tools to help you accelerate your work immediately.
- Naming the real reason your decision is stalling - it changes everything
- Reframing the question that unlocks the decision
- How
to apply it immediately to something on your desk (it works)
It's LIVE and free, RSVP here:

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.
So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.
“Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues.
“Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with.
The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.
Lovely to see the signups - we still have a few places for the free workshop I’m hosting on @MavenHQ on Tuesday.
