Tom Conrad, who worked on Pandora, argues that success comes from solving problems and building teams, not chasing personal achievement. He pushes back against Silicon Valley's focus on individual glory and emphasizes humility as essential to getting things done.
You know, if you spend six years of your life being decisive, focused on being great, being focused, working hard under incredibly stressful situations, the only way to come out of the other side of it with any friends at all and any sense of joy in how you spend your days, is to be humble. Hire people that are wonderful, that aren't jerks, that realize that when you find success, it's not about you. I mean, the success of Pandora has nothing to do with me, despite my 45 minutes. It has to do with our listeners. It has to do with the wonderful people that we've hired. I think that there can be in Silicon Valley a kind of cult of personality, things that develops around these companies. And our founder, Tim, who is the face of the company, is the most affable, humble person that I've ever worked with, and he's a constant inspiration to me to try to remember that we're out here trying to solve problems. It's not about creating a legend around you as an individual. It's around helping people do things that they could never do before.
O processo de reconhecer limites, mesmo quando a vida parece exigir sempre mais.
