When you are marketing a start-up, there are two fundamental truths. The first is that having only a great product will not be enough to guarantee that you will be successful. The second one is that if your product is crap, there is no amount or type of marketing that will gain you a mass audience. If you want your start-up marketing to be a success, you need to have both a great marketing strategy and a great product.

In fact, being the laughing stock could cost you custom, respect, and success. So, keep the jokes to yourself, and practice that poker face.

It's a delicate balance in leadership I have often commented that part of my leadership is to create a culture where failure is considered a part of the learning process. It’s okay to fail. As a leader, while it may seem unproductive to some, many times I have watched someone on my team fail. I probably could have stepped in earlier, took control of the project or delegated to someone else more experienced, and saved a failure from happening.

“I am sick to death of the ridiculous situations I have to deal with at work. The pettiness, the politics, the stupidity — it’s out of control. This kind of thing stresses me out to the max.” Stress a happiness killer. And life is just too short to be unhappy at work.

Few things are stable in economic life. Sixty years ago, Nicholas Kaldor laid down one seemingly immutable fact: The share of the national income taken by labor was constant. In other words, every year workers took home around two-thirds of the economic pie, and the owners of capital took the rest. The stability of this ratio was, as his fellow Cambridge economist Lord Keynes said, “something of a miracle.” So much for miracles.

Dave Wheeler for HBR. The starting point of most competitive analysis is a question: Who is your competition? That’s because most companies view their competition as another brand, product, or service. But smart leaders and organizations go broader. The question is not who your competition is but what it is. And the answer is this: Your competition is any and every obstacle your customers encounter along their journeys to solving the human, high-level problems your company exists to solve.
