The urge to be positive as a leader

You really have to fake a lot to make a lot.  Positive efforts help to exploit the emergence of more positivity.  So if you can help the positive emerge then you can make a lot more than if you boil on the negative.   Being negative all the time leads to recursive improvements on such a small aspect of the effort....that is to say, you can be rigorous on 2 or maybe 3 things and move them forward.  The problem is that things in nature have to die.  And they have to die a lot.  So the thing to do is to start with a lot of different things....then do them at 90%....then you take the small number of 90% things that survive then you ensure that you take a negative focus on the ones that survive because it makes them stronger.

tl;dr - start out at 90% with a bunch of things and then move the things that survive into the negative realm.
