Hastings on Adaptation
"Do not tolerate brilliant jerks. The cost to teamwork is too high." — Reed Hastings
The Practice
Identify the one relationship — a hire, a partner, a client — that is delivering results while quietly corroding the system around it. Name the real cost: the talent that goes quiet near them, the meetings that get worse. Over a long distance, a single corrosive force compounds against you the same way a good habit compounds for you. Decide this week whether you are protecting an asset or financing a slow leak.
