From the Ted Talk by Beth Viner: Why businesses need a dreamer's magic and a doer's realism

Unscramble the Blue Letters

If you're a zero-to-one team of dreamers, I want you to go first to your doers and iivnte them in to your work. Raid their brains and hook their hearts to what you're doing. Shift it from a happening to me to happening with me. Build your own corporate mosh pit.

It's not the only building you should do, though. I think you might want to make a few speed bpmus along the way. And here's why. Your zero-to-one dreamers, well, I hate to tell you, but I think they probably missed the memo about your corporate processes because honestly, it never occurred to them that there are corporate processes they should be concerned with. And to their doer counterparts, at best, this seems disrespectful and at worst, like they are inleotanntliy dgodnig the rules. How each group does the work probably makes the other quite unoflctamrboe. That's not how we do things here. That's definitely not how you get to market first. On one side, the process is foggy, and on the other, too rigid or prescriptive. Building speed bumps, well, that makes explicit a cadence or a process to an individual or a team. And I believe that that creteas better alignment among the humans around you. But one cotaiun. If you build seped bumps one after another and you're really in a rush to get to your destination, well, you're definitely not going to get there on time. Zero-to-one humans, it's not that they don't want to abide by your corporate proolcots, it's that they literally, and I've seen this ftrnhsiad, they literally cannot do the job you've tasked them with -- bliiudng something net new -- if they slow down for each and every speed bump along the way.

If you're a zero-to-one team of dreamers, I want you to go first to your doers and invite them in to your work. Raid their brains and hook their hearts to what you're doing. Shift it from a happening to me to happening with me. Build your own corporate mosh pit.

It's not the only building you should do, though. I think you might want to make a few speed bumps along the way. And here's why. Your zero-to-one dreamers, well, I hate to tell you, but I think they probably missed the memo about your corporate processes because honestly, it never occurred to them that there are corporate processes they should be concerned with. And to their doer counterparts, at best, this seems disrespectful and at worst, like they are intentionally dodging the rules. How each group does the work probably makes the other quite uncomfortable. That's not how we do things here. That's definitely not how you get to market first.

If you build speed bumps one after another and you're really in a rush to get to your destination, well, you're definitely not going to get there on time. Zero-to-one humans, it's not that they don't want to abide by your corporate protocols, it's that they literally, and I've seen this firsthand, they literally cannot do the job you've tasked them with -- building something net new -- if they slow down for each and every speed bump along the way.
