Levels of Thinking: How to Make Better Decisions with Second-Level Thinking
by Anne-Laure Le Cunff (4 mins)
- First-level thinking is simplistic and focuses on immediate outcomes, often leading to decisions that ignore long-term consequences and hidden costs.
- Second-level thinking involves deeper analysis, considering potential second and third-order effects, biases, and long-term impacts, leading to better decision-making.
- To develop second-level thinking, ask questions about probable outcomes, align your predictions with the consensus, and consider the 10-10-10 rule to evaluate the long-term emotional impact of your choices.

Scaling yourself: Habits of successful founders
by Bradford Jones and Taylor Barada (7 mins)
- Successful founders emphasize protecting personal time and health, building sustainable habits, and setting clear boundaries between work and personal life to manage stress and maintain leadership effectiveness.
- Delegating responsibilities and hiring autonomous leaders are essential for scaling a company without becoming a bottleneck, as founders need to focus on alignment and accountability rather than solving every problem themselves.
- Cultivating a strong company culture by reinforcing values and demanding excellence helps reduce stress on founders and promotes a high-performing, self-regulating environment.
