Sam Altman的2023年度总结
Sam Altman的2023年度总结
Sam Altman写了他的2023年度总结，题目是「我希望有人告诉我的那些事情」，感觉有很多感悟都受到了今年宫斗事件的影响；
1、事业的开启，源于乐观、执着、自信、根本动力和人际关系；
2、事业的完成，来自团队的凝聚力、冷静与紧迫的结合、超出想象的承诺。尽量不要在意他人的短期想法，时间越久，就越容易；
3、团队需要的是做真正重要的艰难任务，而不是无关紧要的简单任务，具有突破性的想法可以激励同伴；
4、但也要小心设计自己的激励方式，它有超能力的一面；
5、把资源集中在少数高回报的赌注上，这是知易行难的决定，你可以砍掉比你预想的还要更多的工作；
6、沟通务必清晰、简明；
7、保持反对官僚主义、反对废话连篇，更发动让身边的人一起反对，不要让组织成为妨碍效率的祸首；
8、结果永远是最重要的，在结果很糟糕时，别用过程很优秀来作借口；
9、在招聘上投入更多，把机会留给潜力大、进步快的人，除了聪明这个条件之外，还要看他们实际工作的表现；
10、明星员工的价值往往比他们看上去的更大，但评估时也要考虑到他们对于业务效能的净收益；
11、快速迭代至关重要，为此可以容忍犯错，以年为单位制定计划，以周为单位安排执行；
12、切勿对抗商业世界的物理法则；
13、灵感易逝，生命苦短，不作为是一种容易被忽视的风险；
14、规模的扩大能够带来新的机会；
15、复利有如神奇的魔法，而企业规模的扩大，就能实现复利优势；
16、赶紧站起来，继续前行；
17、与优秀的人共事是生命里最美好的体验，没有之一。
What I Wish Someone Had Told Me
Optimism，obsession，self-belief，raw horsepower and personal connections are how things get started.
Cohesive teams，the right combination of calmness and urgency，and unreasonable commitment are how things get finished. Long-term orientation is in short supply；try not to worry about what people think in the short term，which will get easier over time.
It is easier for a team to do a hard thing that really matters than to do an easy thing that doesn‘t really matter；audacious ideas motivate people.
Incentives are superpowers；set them carefully.
Concentrate your resources on a small number of high-conviction bets；this is easy to say but evidently hard to do. You can delete more stuff than you think.
Communicate clearly and concisely.
Fight bullshit and bureaucracy every time you see it and get other people to fight it too. Do not let the org chart get in the way of people working productively together.
Outcomes are what count；don’t let good process excuse bad results.
Spend more time recruiting. Take risks on high-potential people with a fast rate of improvement. Look for evidence of getting stuff done in addition to intelligence.
Superstars are even more valuable than they seem，but you have to evaluate people on their net impact on the performance of the organization.
Fast iteration can make up for a lot；it‘s usually ok to be wrong if you iterate quickly. Plans should be measured in decades，execution should be measured in weeks.
Don’t fight the business equivalent of the laws of physics.
Inspiration is perishable and life goes by fast. Inaction is a particularly insidious type of risk.
Scale often has surprising emergent properties.
Compounding exponentials are magic. In particular，you really want to build a business that gets a compounding advantage with scale.
Get back up and keep going.
Working with great people is one of the best parts of life.
