HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
The Essence of Company Success: Strategic Choices and Prioritization - Joe Gelata: "Companies are successful, not necessarily because of what they do, but because of what they choose not to do. So make sure you choose wisely."
Balancing Urgency and Growth: Navigating Priorities in Different Company Phases - Joe Gelata: "I'd say it would change based on the life cycle or where the company is in their life cycle. If it's a really early stage company, a lot of those improvement projects end up getting thrown in the garbage because things are changing so quickly... Once you have a really repeatable engine, then it kind of turns into more maintenance."
