Jared Newman's latest take on how Siri could win the AI assistant wars in Fast Company ⚔️ “It’s very exciting,” says Amir Salihefendic, CEO of Todoist. “They definitely have the right architecture for this.” Amir expects you’ll be able to do more with voice control in iOS 18, like creating new projects, assigning tasks, and checking off completed items. “We intend to expose all of the functionality & make that available to [Siri]. And that means you can have some incredible, advanced workflows.” https://lnkd.in/gwSG39wd

Leadership lessons from Doist's CEO Amir Salihefendic: 🤹 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭: Focus on creating and building things instead of passively consuming them. ⚖️ 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 🧞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐨: Find and define your own playbook. 🔍 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Care deeply about doing high-quality work. Pay attention to the smallest details. 🏋️♀️ 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡: Find an ambitious or higher mission or challenge that motivates you to work harder. 💆♀️ 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Work intensely when working, but balance with proper recharging to avoid burnout. 🧬 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐮𝐬: Make sure you hire right in the early days. 🌏 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: Life is a gift and we should be grateful for it. Our struggles become the stories we cherish the most and life continuously offers beauty when we pay attention to it. 🌱 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡: Complacency is a real human challenge. Fight complacency and choose growth. 👩🔧 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Don’t underestimate the amount of work meaningful success requires.
Challenge the status quo: Don't just follow the standard playbook. Doist became remote-first in 2010 before it was popular. "Something that's worked is the thinking from the first principle, challenging the status quo, and doing things differently instead of doing the playbook that everybody else is doing. That has allowed us to build a competitive advantage over the years. To give you an example, we started working remotely over a decade ago in 2010. When we started doing it, nobody was even talking about it. It was a super niche phenomenon. You probably had a few companies all over the world that were remote-first at that time. That move gave us a huge advantage. Suddenly, we could hire smart people from all around the world. We didn't need to pay Silicon Valley salaries to do that. We have done that multiple times in our history where a first principle approach led to an excellent outcome. I think that's something that people can learn from. Sometimes not doing the playbook that everybody else is doing can be enormously rewarding. Find and define your playbook. Of course, it's also risky but if there's no risk, there's usually no reward.”
