Question everything

Question everything

Business leaders can first harness their paranoia by constantly asking questions--both about your business and the market overall. Most markets are more dynamic than they've ever been, and change happens fast.

If you're not asking questions, you're not intimately familiar with your market, and you're going to get passed by.

Stay humble

Asking questions will likely prove that you don't have all of the answers--and that's okay. Even the most successful leaders embrace humility and acknowledge that they need a trusted team to figure out the best path forward.

Practice the philosophy of "hire the best and trust them." We need to empower our domain experts to make decisions and sometimes "disagree and commit." Or more often, express our point of view and then defer to the domain expert or functional owner.  This takes humility.

Stay nimble and pivot

It's easy to get caught up in your business's success. While there is a time and place to acknowledge and celebrate big wins and market leadership, complacency is a death knell in today's business reality.

By harnessing paranoia, leaders can avoid finding finite satisfaction in today's victories and focus on maintaining a competitive edge for tomorrow.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
