Richard Baker tells a story from Steve Roth, the CEO of Vornado Realty Trust.
Two guys report to the same boss.
Guy one shows up buttoned up.
Pocket protector. Perfect spreadsheet. 200 houses under construction. Every number lined up.
Guy two is a mess.
Shirt untucked. Paper falling out of his pockets. Nothing organized. He is building 10,000 houses.
Who made more money?
The slob.
Not because chaos is a strategy.
Because speed and volume beat perfection when perfection becomes the excuse to stay small.
The organized guy was managing.
The messy guy was building.
That is the difference between an operator and an entrepreneur.
