Not everything is about velocity, you also need focus in the right areas.
- kstrauser 2y agoVelocity is a vector: it includes a direction component. Management is putatively good at getting everyone to go in the same direction so that the sum of the IC vectors don't cancel out. That wasn't one of the problems in the email, though. The CEO failed to choose that direction, or to recognize that they were lacking one and that they needed to hire someone to help them find it.
