Why You Keep Stopping at 90% | Arturo Nuñez
There is a gap between knowing what good work looks like and paying the price to do it when nobody is handing out applause.
Arturo Nuñez calls that gap the difference between curiosity and commitment. He shares the question he says Kobe Bryant once asked him, then follows it into the places where the answer matters: the part of you that stops at 90 percent to protect an excuse, the performance review you should not let surprise you, and the relationships you burn when every deal requires somebody else to lose.
Arturo is founder and CEO of AIE Creative, serves on the boards of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and The Estée Lauder Companies, and is the author of the forthcoming The Culture Compass. He brings a hard-earned view of corporate life: build a record of your work, make the people around you stronger, and stop mistaking access to information for the decision to go all the way.
