" ... I would say we have many theses that we look at across mobility, big data, online advertising and e-commerce. But we don’t tend to be slavishly driven by themes. I think any growth-stage investor has to be, to some extent, opportunistic in how they evaluate opportunities. In some of the deals we’ve looked at fairly recently there’s stuff that we frankly would have never even thought about. But they’re really exciting companies and we see how we can add value to those opportunities by taking them to the Asian markets. So you can never really tell. I think if you’re too slavishly driven by a particular theme you end up turning over every single rock but never finding a company that’s at the right stage or that has the right management team. You end up wasting a lot of time. We have a lot of things in mind in terms of macro themes. But we’re not smart enough to pick the one next huge theme out there. ... "

He recounts the tales of how slavishly following satellite navigation systems quite literally leads drivers up blind alleys and worse. But more seriously, with the technology companies to which this thinking is outsourced increasingly powerful, there is a risk of acting against our own best interests. “We need to retake control, which means we must learn to lead,” he writes, adding that experts must be kept “on tap, not on top.” ...

" ... This list describes what the leader does while omitting the inclusion of direct reports in the decision-making process. The leader described above could practice autocracy by making decisions alone, or could be one who asks for other’s advice and counsel in making decisions and obtaining support.
