- When you see a snake, kill the snake. (snake = problem)
- Don’t play with dead snakes.
- Often, big opportunities start out looking like snakes… look for the points of disruption.
By Lars Dalgaard
- No assholes. No kiss-ups and back-stabbers in the organization. You’re a happy dolphin most of the time, then, when someone attacks, you’re a shark.
