- Behance and 99U co-founder Scott Belsky is often asked about the inception and acquisition of the companies. But the biggest lessons are found in the sometimes-messy, oftentimes-exciting, and always-challenging experience between those bookend moments. In this talk, Belsky shares his perspective on:
How to sustain momentum, and morale, during periods of uncertainty
Why resourcefulness is the ultimate future-proof skill
What circumstances inspire true innovation
And how to spot the best opportunities
About 99U
99U brings you the best of the creative world through the lens of design and the people and work who are shaping it.
Here is my fast and dirty summary of this amazing talk;
Endure:
- Accept the burden of processing uncertainty => Creativity. Focus on stuff that are in your influence. Minimize insecurity works.
- Short circuit reward system in the team.
- Do you F***g job.
- Be resourceful (muscle) instead of having consuming resources (carbs). Comfort breeds complacency.
Optimize:
- Conversations with builders rather than repeaters.
- Diversity in the team.
- Conviction rather than convincing.
- Empathy (understanding your customers) before passion (to solve the problem).
- Look for opportunities that fits you rather those that are shiny.
- Gain confidence through doubts. Nothing extraordinary is achieved by ordinary means.
Final Mile:
Stay in early innings mood. Stay curious. Don't take credits, it was team.
Awesome :)
