Doing what you did last works well, right up until it doesn’t. When you put 100% effort into doing what you did last time and get 80% of the output of last time, it’s time to do something different next time.

I'm sure the list of mistakes he made is quite lengthy. I'll just note three key lessons here in the immediate aftermath of his departure: 1. Giving a journalist seemingly unfettered access during your early days as CEO, and then being so loose with commentary and language during that time together, wa
