I thought Lesson #8 is pretty critical to anyone who either wants to lead or ends up in a lead position. specifically: > Some founders take pride in working long hours. That’s dumb. You should take pride in having huge leverage (which often requires long hours). When I would work 100 hour weeks, instead of feeling self-satisfied, I knew I either 1) wasn’t delegating enough or 2) didn’t have the right leaders around me to delegate to. By working longer hours you can get 20% or even 40% more done, but with effective delegation you can get 10x or 100x more done. I remember talking to a coworker years ago, who was also a long time software developer. I asked him something along the lines of what his near term goals were. I was surprised by his answer because I thought his answer would be about learning some new tech, getting a part of his project done etc. His answer was along the lines of "I want learn to lead better and hire good people to work for me so that we can get 10x more done" ..that really changed the way I think about leadership and hiring.
