Successful billionaires and CEOs excel at managing their time and resources, valuing strategic laziness over constant grind. Bill Hoogterp, a career coach to Fortune 500 leaders, emphasizes that high achievers may not be the smartest but possess immense ambition. This blend of ambition and laziness drives them to seek shortcuts and innovate quicker. The essence of their success lies in finding ways to work more efficiently while still being motivated to achieve greater results, a paradigm that many effective leaders embody.
"Most successful people, if you meet most famous politicians, they weren't necessarily the A students. They aren't necessarily the smartest."
"What most CEOs have - that almost nobody else has - is that their ambition is way over the top."
"If you're really, really hungry to get success, but you're always looking for shortcuts, the combination of those two things leads to lots of little breakthroughs."
"They’re like: 'How can I get this done faster, easier, better, and have time and energy for other things?'"
