Obsessed over obsoletion
Wed, Jul 15, 2020
High-flying executives are touching down on ground reality.
Those who used to hop over the Atlantic Ocean in business class for a 2-hour meeting in Europe are now wondering why they never met on Zoom in the first place.
Some companies I know have given up their office lease and have completely gone remote, saving $25k every month. Twitter and others have decided to be remote forever.
A couple of our past clients have trimmed their teams to just maintain core functions and have outsourced the rest of their regular operations.
Why did we need a global pandemic to help us realize that we could do more with less?
Couldn’t we have implemented these positive, productive, and profitable changes before this pandemic changed our lives?
It often takes an external force to make us more disciplined, innovative, and efficient.
If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old.
Takeaway
- If we aren’t always obsessed about how we can make ourselves obsolete, someone else or something else will do it for us.
- Keep an aggressive eye out for what you can nail, and open your creative mind to see where you can scale.
