    This man, gave me an opportunity. Not directly. But he invested in Rice’s leadership program. A program i took via coursera. A program that helped me qualify “on paper” for leadership. Thank you John. I’ve been in leadership for 3 years now. Striving to help my team in any positive way possible.

      Zo Wo Mark didn’t have the vision. Mark was brought in to execute. Someone else had the vision. The idea. Mark was sued over this and lost.
      He then changed the entire platform based on what he experienced through execution.
      But we can always agree to disagree. Everyone sees the world through different eyes

    'John Doerr: Ideas are easy, execution is everything'
    Execution translates the idea into practical reality, does it follows that execution is everything. Now imagine the idea is easy and wrong, execution still everything?
    Imagine another scenario, two people with two different easy ideas. One is locate in Ethiopia in the Tigray region and the other person is locate in Geneva.
    To what extent execution is everything? Since you must execute in a structure, Tigray being a structure affected by a deadly conflict, execution can't be everything in this case.
    The specificity of the structure can be a condition of impossibility for execution

    Ideas are easy--and so is self belief--takes nothing at all. Because there is ground base reality to consider as well. Not every strategy is a good one. I've heard many times--"if you believe enough you will be successful." That is not accurate. Like running to LA to become that actor with no backup plan. Luck is a huge factor in that fair or not, that is a reality. The idea that self belief is what makes the success driven successful is only a small part of the equation. The guru will tell you the universe aligns with you with self belief. Not true. Self belief + plan of action that is researched + massive effort----that is what makes success and sometimes ill luck causes failure as well. Most of the gurus, great or small say the same thing I tell my own subscribers--you have to plan well and engage in effort and constantly re-evaluate what is working and what isn't. Hope this helps someone out there---Charles
