八度易飞
Sam·Altman：我希望有人早点告诉我的事
- 乐观、热情、自信、充沛的精力和人脉是启动事情的关键。
- 有凝聚力的团队、适度的冷静与紧迫感以及坚定的承诺是完成事情的关键。长期视角很宝贵；不要过于在意短期内他人的看法，这会随着时间变得更容易。
- 团队完成一项真正重要且艰难的任务，比完成一项无关紧要且简单的任务要容易；宏伟的想法能激发人们的热情。
- 激励措施具有巨大影响力；设定时要谨慎。
- 将资源集中投注在少数几个坚信不疑的项目上；虽然这说起来容易，但实际操作却很困难。你可以砍掉的项目比你想象的要多。
- 沟通要清晰、简洁。
- 每当遇到无谓的空谈和官僚作风时，都要坚决反对，并鼓励他人也这样做。不要让组织架构妨碍团队成员的高效合作。
- 成果才是最重要的；不要让看似完美的过程掩盖了不佳的结果。
- 在招聘上投入更多时间。对那些潜力巨大且进步迅速的人给予机会。除了智力外，还要寻找他们实际完成任务的证据。
- 优秀人才的价值远超预期，但评价一个人时要看他对团队整体表现的贡献。
- 快速迭代可以弥补许多不足；只要迭代速度快，犯错误是可以接受的。规划应长远，执行要迅速。
- 不要违背商业的基本规律。
- 灵感易逝，人生短暂。不采取行动是一种隐蔽的风险。
- 规模往往会产生意想不到的效应。
- 复利效应非常神奇。特别是，建立一个随着规模扩大而获得复合优势的业务是理想之选。
- 遇到挫折要勇敢站起来，继续前行。
- 与杰出人士共事是人生最美好的经历之一。

What I Wish Someone Had Told Me
- Optimism, obsession, self-belief, raw horsepower and personal connections are how things get started.
- Cohesive teams, the right combination of calmness and urgency, and unreasonable commitment are how things get finished. Long-term orientation is in short supply; try not to worry about what people think in the short term, which will get easier over time.
- It is easier for a team to do a hard thing that really matters than to do an easy thing that doesn’t really matter; audacious ideas motivate people.
- Incentives are superpowers; set them carefully.
- Concentrate your resources on a small number of high-conviction bets; this is easy to say but evidently hard to do. You can delete more stuff than you think.
- Communicate clearly and concisely.
- Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together.
- Outcomes are what count; don’t let good process excuse bad results.
- Spend more time recruiting. Take risks on high-potential people with a fast rate of improvement. Look for evidence of getting stuff done in addition to intelligence.
- Superstars are even more valuable than they seem, but you have to evaluate people on their net impact on the performance of the organization.
- Fast iteration can make up for a lot; it’s usually ok to be wrong if you iterate quickly. Plans should be measured in decades, execution should be measured in weeks.
- Don’t fight the business equivalent of the laws of physics.
- Inspiration is perishable and life goes by fast. Inaction is a particularly insidious type of risk.
- Scale often has surprising emergent properties.
- Compounding exponentials are magic. In particular, you really want to build a business that gets a compounding advantage with scale.
- Get back up and keep going.
- Working with great people is one of the best parts of life.
