Startup Analogies: Putting the wood behind one arrow

December 3, 2009 by Eric Friedman

This is one I have heard at the BOD level a few times; putting the wood behind one arrow.

Here is a favorite example of putting all the wood behind one arrow from the Sun CEO back in 2007.

It basically boils down to concentrating on one area and focus.

It provides a worldview that provides solid constraints but focused energy.

I realize that describing this one is harder than it looks, but hopefully you get the idea.
