Launching a start-up, you need to get a lot done quickly. Every day is different. Everyone pitches in with everything. It's easy for the founding team to say, 'We're flexible. We all help out with everything!' But when it comes to making decisions - that flexibility can spell inefficiency and disaster.

American Businesswoman

Jacque Fresco

American Inventor

Milton Friedman

Filipino Journalist

Athanasios Orphanides
