    Tufan Erginbilgiç on Ideas

    Most leaders want a clean, 10-step plan. Tufan Erginbilgiç, the CEO of Rolls-Royce, wants a mess. Since taking over in 2023, Erginbilgiç has overseen a massive surge in profits and a doubling of stock value. His secret? He likes strategy development to be chaotic. He isn't talking about being reckless. He’s talking about the raw, blue-sky debate that happens before a plan is ever written. Most of us avoid the mess; we want predictable outcomes. But Erginbilgiç argues that if you’re comfortable, you’re not transforming. The discomfort and the "chaos" of disagreement are actually the signs that you’re in uncharted territory—which is the only place real transformation happens. Strategy isn't about organizing what you already know (that’s just planning). It’s about having the guts to sit in the discomfort until you can make the hard choices about what you don't know.

    Jane Jacobs on Ideas

    When you over-plan, you kill the thing you're trying to build. Jane Jacobs wasn't an urban planner. She was a journalist who noticed something the experts missed. The neighborhoods that thrived weren't the ones designed from the top down. They were the messy ones. Mixed uses. Short blocks. Old buildings next to new ones. People bumping into each other on the street. She called it "the sidewalk ballet." An intricate dance of people coming and going, shopkeepers and strangers, each playing their part without anyone choreographing it. "Designing a dream city is easy; rebuilding a living one takes imagination." The order wasn't designed. It emerged. That's the paradox. When you try to control every variable, you end up with something sterile. Something that looks right on paper but feels dead in practice. Ideas work the same way. We're taught they need structure. A clear roadmap. But the best ideas need room to collide. They need the random conversation that sparks something you never would have thought of alone. The mess isn't the problem. The mess is where the good stuff happens.

    Adam Grant on Ideas

    The most creative people don't have better ideas. They just have more of them. Adam Grant's book Originals flipped how I think about this. He writes: "It's widely assumed that there's a tradeoff between quantity and quality — if you want to do better work, you have to do less of it. This turns out to be false. When it comes to idea generation, quantity is the most predictable path to quality." The people with the best ideas aren't the ones with a higher hit rate. They just produce more. They're willing to be wrong more often, which means they eventually stumble onto something right. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets. A lot of them weren't great. Picasso created over 50,000 works. Edison filed over 1,000 patents. The volume is the strategy. Most of us hold back because we're not sure our idea is good enough. We wait until we're confident. But originals don't wait for certainty. They generate, share, test, and iterate. The bad ideas are the price of admission for the good ones.
