"Les entreprises de jour 2 prennent des décisions de haute qualité, mais elles prennent des décisions de haute qualité lentement. Pour conserver l'énergie et le dynamisme du jour 1, vous devez d'une manière ou d'une autre prendre des décisions de haute qual"
— Jeff Bezos
Simplified Meaning:
When a company gets older and more established ("Day 2 companies"), they often do a great job at making smart decisions, but it takes them a long time. Think of a big ship. It moves steadily and carefully, but turning it around or changing direction is slow. To keep the freshness and quick-moving spirit of a young company ("Day 1"), businesses need to make good choices quickly. Imagine a startup, where decisions are made fast to keep up with competition or changes in the market. This speed helps them stay energetic and flexible. Take the example of a small restaurant. If it's new and small, the owner can quickly decide to add new dishes or change the menu based on customer feedback. If the restaurant grows into a big chain, each decision might need many layers of approval and takes much longer. To keep that original energy and ability to adapt, the big chain must find ways to make those decisions faster without losing quality. Everyday people can apply this by being both thoughtful and decisive in their choices, so they can keep up with life's demands while still making wise decisions.
