Ali Ghodsi on learning as a CEO and evaluating management practices

Original excerpt

Because there's so much other stuff you have to do every day.
Context

I think that's a useful way of operating a company. I still operate the company that way. I try to identify what the main bottleneck is at the time, and I try to just focus on unclogging that. Hire people. There's drama. People are quitting. The board, this and that. Legal department. Customers. Revenue. Missing this. There's a million things coming your way every day. You don't have the time to move the needle on anything. So focus on that main bottleneck.
