High-Stakes Transformations with CEO of Arrowhead Engineer Products

I think that the interesting thing about that, and I know your philosophy, I think you talked about the mission over fairness in your TEDx talk.

Can you explain what that philosophy means and why that's critical for leaders and when you're trying to grow those businesses?

Yeah, it works in business.

It works in life.

And sometimes it sounds a little harsh, right? But when you step back and you start, you know, kind of identifying what happens is, and these are my words, but you can fill in however you want.

But, you know, one is your mission.

What is it that you really want to do? Whether that is, you know, like we said, run a business, start a business.

And that's your mission in life.

And at the same time, you have this sense that I'm going to call values.

And I don't mean values like you're going against, you know, something terrible, whatever.

But it's like you value doing these things.

I value making kids plays.

I value having free time.

I value, you know, whatever it is with it.

But you will find that if you have something that you really want to accomplish, There's only so many hours in a day for all of us, only so much time.

You're going to have to give up something, right? There's no such thing as, you know, and you hear this a lot of times, particularly in women.

It's like, how do you raise kids and work full time and clean the house? It's the same thing true for men.

There's going to be some shortcomings that you're going to have.

So you have to be able to.

to make those trade-offs.

So the fairness part is, it may seem fair to give your time to being at home.

It may seem fair to give all your time at work, but it's not realistic.

You're going to have to pick something.

You're going to have to pick some winners and losers, and that's okay.

You got to live with that.
