Think-Decide-Act Loop

A framework for high-performance execution based on rapid decision-making and immediate implementation, as demonstrated by Adam (ApplovinCEO).

Core Components of A+ Execution

• Think-Decide-Act Loop
  • Rapid decision making without delays
  • Immediate implementation once decisions are made
  • No gap between decision and execution

Key Principles

• Speed of Implementation

  • Decisions delivered to team within minutes
  • No waiting for "next week" or "later"
  • Immediate execution on new ideas
  • Immediate action on role changes
  • Immediate communication to team

• Common Execution Mistakes

  • Thinking and deciding but delaying action
  • Letting time gap grow between decision and implementation
  • Being casual about timing
  • Rushing to answers without proper thought

Balanced Approach

• Need to know when to:

  • Attack aggressively
  • Take measured approach
  • Be patient with results
  • Be impatient with actions

• Naval's Framework

  • "Impatience with action, patience with results"
  • Described as an "unbeatable combination"
  • Contrasts with common founder mistakes:
    • Being impatient with both action and results
    • Being patient with both (leading to inaction)

This execution framework emphasizes eliminating the delay between decision and action while maintaining strategic patience for outcomes.
