High-Velocity Reversible Decisions

““Rapid decision-making may appear as erratic, but it is not,” according to Musk. “Most people do not appreciate that no decision is also a decision. It is better to make many decisions per unit time with a slightly higher error rate, than few with a slightly lower error rate, because obviously one of your future right decisions can be to reverse an earlier wrong one, provided the earlier one was not catastrophic, which they rarely are.””

“Musk listened to the senior leader for about twenty minutes before cutting him off. “This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen,” he said, before walking out. “Don’t ever show it to me again.” Musk didn’t want to prioritize one thing over another, he wanted to prioritize everything.”
