Most of our audience knows that we operate on the mantra āSlow and steady wins,ā and yet thereās lessons to be learned by reading a post adjudicating the need to āMove fast or die.ā Let me explainā¦
Thereās a key phrase that sets this post and its lessons apart from us here at Changelog Media ā itās āHereās how we did it at Facebook.ā Clearly, we are not Facebook, so we should not operate on advice thatās focused on Facebook. However, we can learn something.
Of the the five lessons shared, each can be appreciated, but one in particular stands out.
We embraced asking for forgiveness, never for permission.
This, to me, is synonymous with āHire people smarter than you,ā because it assumes everyone can bring something to the table that former wisdom might not. It gives permission to try something new and see if something beautiful comes as a result. Thatās a good thing.
