A quotation from Hyman Rickover

Unfortunately, in real life there are no exact or final answers. In a job which must go ahead at a rapid pace we cannot withhold judgment “until all the facts are in.” Rarely is all the evidence at hand. Decisions must be made, and action taken, before complete knowledge can be acquired.

Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
Speech (1954-03-16), “Administering a Large Military Development Project,” US Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California

Stop what you would not start

‘We must not starve our biggest opportunities because we're so busy throwing ourselves at our biggest problems and dwelling on past mistakes. […] Yet how to do this, when past problems clamor for our attention, when we live with the accumulated legacy of what came before?"

"If it were a decision today to start something you are already in […], would you? If not, then why do you persist?’

#deciding 🧵

Victor Shih argues that the multiple pathways to #power were incentives for policy innovation: a way for would-be top leaders to get noticed, and thus promoted.
#Xi calling most of the shots creates incentives for mid-level cadres to sit on their hands, and wait for signals from Xi himself. Hence a disastrous about-face on Zero Covid - no one could change anything until Xi told them to, and then they rushed to lift almost all restrictions.

“One’s inner imagery may be blended with thoughts of current concerns at home or work: the concert may be spent in deciding how to redecorate the kitchen, or in imaginary conversations with colleagues, and yet afterwards one may say that yes, it was a lovely evening and the music was beautiful”

"In a #consensus decision-making process, the decision and the buy-in land at the same time. Rather than making a decision and then getting everyone on board, you get everyone on board, at which point the decision is clear."
