Youâve probably heard about a space ship hitting badly Venus or Mars, I donât remember, because of miscalculations, right? Well, thatâs everywhere. When you do your taxes, when you calculate your retirement or when you receive an inheritance. All are miscalculation errors. In construction, there are everywhere. In 1970, during the construction of the Kadena Air Base Bridge in Okinawa, Japan, engineers made a slight miscalculation. As usual⌠Two teams started building from opposite sides of the river, expecting to meet perfectly in the middle. But when they finally got close... one side was 2 meters higher than the other! I mean⌠not 1 cm, not 2 cm, not 10 cm⌠just 2 meters. The error? One team had used metric measurements, while the other worked in imperial units.

Complexity is the enemy of clarity. And without clarity, you're invisible. Iâve been in meetings where technical guys discuss and discuss. Argue and argue. About the gender of the angels. For hours. For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike. If you are able to explain complex things in a simple way, as if the person you talk to was 5 years-old⌠People will listen....
Every important decision in your life has come down to the same thing. Making a bet on yourself. Changing company? Bet on yourself. Changing career path? Bet on yourself. Starting your business? Bet on yourself. Hiring your first employee? Bet on yourself. There is one thing I have learnt about big decisions. Itâs always simpler than you think.
