It's interesting to see how often they make reference to the context. Both when they're talking about Sheryl's start at the company and when they mention the changes now - they keep talking about the "context". It might seem obvious at first glance but, when you think about it, maybe there's more to it - I think sometimes I'm guilty of making decisions that I think are right for the optimal situation I want to be in, rather than the one I am currently in. I think I have my eye set on the future and where I want to get to, that I don't necessarily make the best business decisions for where I am now.

People just want to leave the sinking boat asap. He is obsessed with Facebook and doing everything keep it alive..and of these act is forcing Facebook on Instagram and Instagram on Facebook through deeper integration where it doesn't even matter you're using Fb or insta.
"It is being honest and direct that keeps things from building up and keeps things on track." <- I know a couple of founders who ended up calling it quits when tensions built up with their co-founders, and I think this point about being open (without being rude) is underrated.
Totally! In fact, I recently read, Warren Buffet once said that the best investment you can make if you want to be successful is in learning how to communicate effectively. It's not just about being completely transparent and open - I don't think that's always constructive. It's about communicating in a way that what you're saying is likely to be interpreted how you want it to be by the other person.
