There's not much there about the management triangle - cost, schedule and scope. The hard part in management is navigating between these vertices day by day. It's great when you can take "cost" out of the equation (and often partially schedule for some time at least) because of VC funding, but the truth is that you have it much easier than most other managers. HBR is full of similarly writted golden thoughts written by really experienced managers and leaders, however it is hard to relate to them in normal business scenario, where the customer is almost screaming at you because of deadline approaching, the sales team sold something that doesn't exist, the cashflow is close to negative (no VC).
