Surviving Disruption

Author: Maxwell Wessel and Clayton M. Christensen
The article proposes a systematic way to assess the path and pace of disruption so that managers can fashion a more complete strategic response. The concept of the extendable core is introduced to guide in determining a disrupter's strengths.
The article explores how a deep understanding of what jobs people want a company to do for them will give a clearer picture of the relative advantage. The disruption of retail grocery stores is used as an example to demonstrate the application of the proposed systematic approach.
Time Management for Top Performers

The key to making the most of limited time for high performers is to find high-impact ways to leverage time instead of doing busywork. With limited time and seemingly unlimited tasks, it's important to reflect on what matters and what impact one wants to have.
By getting clear on goals, focusing on high-impact tasks, and training oneself to always know what to focus on, high performers can make a meaningful impact on the world.
The Key to Sustainable Productivity

Productivity can be difficult to sustain because people often conflate subjective feelings of productivity with objective output. While the two may coincide in the short term, they often have little to do with each other in the long term.
Sustainable productivity, which allows for achieving more without feeling particularly productive, comes from creating low-effort routines or habits, accumulating knowledge and skills, and eliminating needless work and tasks. The key to becoming more productive is worrying less about feeling productive and more about creating systems that allow for more work to be done without excessive effort.

Article of the Week
As someone who has navigated the intricacies of project management, I often find myself drawn to the symbiotic relationship it shares with the dynamic world of product strategy.
There's a unique beauty in the convergence of these two disciplines, an art that, when mastered, can propel organizations to new heights. In the realm of project management, we're the architects of structure, the builders of timelines, and the guardians of successful delivery.
Book Notes #107: Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink
Source: Book Notes of the Week
Jocko, a former Navy SEAL and renowned leadership expert, describes how he lives that mantra: the mental and physical disciplines he imposes on himself in order to achieve freedom in all aspects of life.
Many books offer advice on how to overcome obstacles and reach your goals—but that advice often misses the most critical ingredient: discipline. Without discipline, there will be no real progress.
