Malcom Gladwell’s How David Beats Goliath
Interesting new article in The New Yorker by Malcom Gladwell (Outliers, The Tipping Point) about How David Beats Goliath. Basically a great article on disruption. The article reminds me of Clayton Christensen’s work on the Innovator’s Dilemma series where upstarts can come into an industry and disrupt well established players. Great stuff for anyone wanting to build a startup.
“…substituting effort for ability turns out to be a winning formula for underdogs in all walks of life…”
Throw out the conventional. If you are building a startup you have to be willing to go above and beyond what is conventional and disrupt your competition.
A great read. Check it out here.
