13. 6 Entrenched Myths Myths that are undermined by the research within this book.

14. Myth: Successful leaders in a turbulent world are bold, risk seeking visionaries. • Finding: No leader is capable of predicting the future. Instead they have the ability to figure out what works, why it works, and build off that foundation. They are more disciplined, empirical, and paranoid.

15. Myth: Innovation distinguishes 10X companies in a fast moving, uncertain, and chaotic world. • Finding: False, in some cases the 10X companies are far less innovative than their comparisons. It is the ability to scale their innovations or blend creativity with discipline.

16. Myth: A threat-filled world favors the speedy; you’re either the quick or the dead. • Finding: A company or leader that focuses on going “fast” will end up over doing themselves. Instead you need to find the right time to go fast, and when not to.

17. Myth: Great enterprises with 10X success have a lot more good luck. • Finding: The 10X did not have more luck. The question is not whether you have any luck, rather what you do with the luck that you get.
