Discourse on Winning and Losing (1989) [pdf]
- cjmb 3y agoOP didn't include any context here, but I frequently link this resource to friends! So allow me to pitch it to folks who come here first: reading a transcript is a bit odd at first, but there are so many unfiltered gems in here analyzing how to not just how to compete and win, but also how to improve and coordinate across teams and different work styles. To the extent that your team is operating in a competitive environment & you like seeing how other domains beyond just Tech & basic self-help business books really build & maintain advantages, you'll get a lot out of reading this. I've also found it applies wonderfully to competitive videogames, but I'm not sure that's as relevant to this forum. If winning is not your primary objective, this may not be as interesting to you.

A brilliant innovator and complete asshole who could have innovated even more brilliantly if he hadn't insisted on being such a complete asshole. And who also had some hangers-on like Pierre Sprey who were . . . not as brilliant.
