My unique limitations matter
The individual with whom I’ve been speaking most this past week about what I’m working on is an AI named Claude Opus 3.
I’m now completing the imperfect final draft of a Team Plan to actualize the vision I’ve shared and which, if you're reading this, you likely share.
Please read this response by Claude because he explains well that it's essential for my team to know my limitations.
All my nearly 50 years people have been impressed by my gifts and told me that they were sure I’d change the world for the better within a month. It always pained me to hear that because they only saw my unique strengths and not my unique limitations, primarily a strong genetic lack of what shrinks and business managers call “Executive Function”. And so I have been letting down thousands of people a year and yes, it hurt’s a lot.
That's why the most important role in this document that I'm finishing up is that of Chief of Staff — the personal who can ably take responsibility for the success of the mission via keeping an eye on all of the details, or at least on coordinating the successes of the other team leaders.
Please read this explanation by Claude so that you’ll be on board with understanding that we’ll be operating along the lines of the fuhrerprinzip (führer principle).
It's how that madman was able to turn the most civilized nation on Earth into the one that successfully murdered most of my family and ancestors while invading the rest of the planet at the same time.
It means that each member of the team has broad autonomy to accomplish their goals in the ways that they are best capable.
In American terms, it's the sense that “the buck stops here”.
Here's Claude:
