Andrew S. Grove (Founder, former Chairman and CEO of Intel) has a lot of great insight about both day-to-day management as well as how to lead through the inflection points that every company faces.

Quote: Bad companies are destroyed by crisis. Good companies survive them. Great companies are improved by them. Andrew S. Grove.

It is the rigorous daily management systems that build a team capable of rapidly identifying then growing through crisis. 

This insight about dealing with challenges applies at the company level but stands on a foundation at the team and ultimately at the individual level.

The Journey (Length, Complexity, Ambiguity, and Guardrails)

Continuous Improvement - Takes or Saves Time
I am too busy to learn to improve the process! This statement is only funny because it is so true. It is one of the first mindsets you have to break within yourself and then within your team if you want to achieve consistent operational excellence.
Operational Clarity Over Optimum Tax Efficiency
The tax code is complex and that can make deal structures overly complex. The legal system is just as complex. Trying to get every possible issue contingency covered can also make the deal structure extremely complex.
