"Plenty of companies are a religion, where people take their cues from the top. Intuit is a science lab, where anything can be tested and proven incorrect. 'When you have only one test, you don't have entrepreneurs; you have politicians. When you have lots of ideas you have entrepreneurs'"-Scott Cook
I recently read an article in Inc. magazine on Intuit. It was called the 30-Year-Old Start-up. It talked about how Intuit's culture encourages entrepreneurship. They encourage the behavior of a start-up: fast-moving, embracing uncertainty, continuously learning. They follow Ries' Lean Startup definition of a start-up: 'a human institution designed to create a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty'.
This behavior has led them to develop new products at a faster rate than their competition.
Today's question is:
"How comfortable are you with uncertainty?"
