The wheel works
We know to not ‘reinvent the wheel’. Yet it remains tempting:
- Ideas without execution: We all know a guy who thinks Uber was his idea. Having a great idea didn’t do him much good.
- Execution without ideas: This works fine. Originality might help, but winners need not be original in order to win. If execution is indeed the more important ingredient, put aside the drawing board. The wheel works already.
