Episode description
What happened to Yahoo? Taking notes from Kara Swisher and Eric Jackson, there were five things I noticed:
1/ Beware of executives that succeed because of rising tides and tailwinds.
2/ Don’t forget about the MIT
3/ Built up experiences (or read books for a shortcut) to help you recognize patterns.
4/ Know your strengths and your weaknesses. Punt what you don’t do well.
5/ Reduce stakeholders to get more options. You need a long runway to experiment. the more career capital you have, easier cutting down will be.
