“Consider on occasion whether the adjective “relentless” applies to your team. If not, you probably need to step it up.”

So inspirational. Lately I’ve been thinking about what it means to be good at execution, and what kind of people end up learning to execute at startups.

I think it means: being able to seek out, identify and solve problem at all levels of the company. This often involves taking a step back and saying “what is not going well?” Once you’ve taken a step back, you often realize that there is no way that you’re the only one who has had this problem.
