Being “First” Versus Being “Best”
- slantyyz 16y agoThere's also something to be said about being "The First That's Good Enough For Most People".
- nwmcsween 16y agoExactly Linux is a prime example of this.
- spif 16y agoMy way of formulating this truth has long been: “It’s doesn’t help being first, if you are very quickly second best.” But I don’t equate “execution” with “product development”. You can develop the best product on the planet, but if you don’t execute well on everything else (recruitment, communication, cash management, customer insight, investor relations, route to market, etc etc etc) a business will still fail. You have to build the best product AND do everything else right. That’s execution.
