Join 📚 Fabien's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Fabien's read, .
There always will be limits to growth. They can be self-imposed. If they aren’t, they will be system-imposed. No physical entity can grow forever. If company managers, city governments, the human population do not choose and enforce their own limits to keep growth within the capacity of the supporting environment, then the environment will choose and enforce limits.
Thinking in Systems
Donella H. Meadows
And yet, a person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weaknesses, let alone on something one cannot do at all.
Managing Oneself
Peter Ferdinand Drucker
At the end of the first week of training, we make an offer to the entire class. We offer everyone $2,000 to quit (in addition to paying them for the time they’ve already worked), and it’s a standing offer until the end of the fourth week of training. We want to make sure that employees are here for more than just a paycheck. We want employees that believe in our long-term vision and want to be a part of our culture. As it turns out, on average, less than 1% of people end up taking the offer.
