Excerpt

Mark Okerstrom, who was Expedia's CFO in 2012 and became CEO in 2017, said. "When we create organizations, we're doing it to give people focus. We're essentially giving them a license to be myopic. We're saying: This is your problem. Define your mission and create your strategy and align your resources to solve that problem. And you have the divine right to ignore all the other stuff that doesn't align with that."

Too Much Information

Sometimes, the people who are giving you the most information are, in reality, giving you the least. 

Beware of lengthy reports.

Executive Summaries have a hidden virtue aside from saving time. People who might try to slip something past in a large report will be reluctant to omit it from the Executive Summary.

Just be on the alert for any vague bullet points.
