(diary)(thoughts on radicalism)

When you’re the CEO of a popular services company with fortune 1000 customers, you really can’t be a radical. You can write controversial things, if couched correctly, but you really don’t have all that much intellectual freedom. You can’t be ‘angry’. You can be controversial but not angry.

Most CEO’s are pretty cautious. But I was surprised. First, you stick out to customers. Second, *if you’re willing to say naked truths in public you are more likely to say naked truths to your customers*. So that is what happened.

I much prefer writing as a radical. It’s just more… honest. I feel more honestly myself than I have ever felt before. Unconstrained.

I kind of think that the controversial aspect of my work will actually help my new company. Because the product’s managerial point of view is libertarian – self organizing. It’s a revolutionary way to run a business.

I’ll just spin it as crazy visionary nonsense and I’m sure it will work out.
