Bre Pettis and Kio Stark have developed and interesting manifesto called “The Cult of Done Manifesto”. Leadership is about creating, it’s not about problem solving. To create we must focus on doing, learning and adapting. The core idea in this manifesto, is the focus on doing, rather than first waiting to figure out what’s right, start doing, learn, adapt change and do some more. This is a great philosophy for those of us who are pushing the frontiers, those pioneers, going to places what there is no real evidence concerning what works.
For those us who are breaking away from the familiar cow paths of life, this manifesto is a must…
The Cult of Done Manifesto
- There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
- Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
- There is no editing stage.
- Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.
- Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
- The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
- Once you’re done you can throw it away.
- Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
- People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
- Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
- Destruction is a variant of done.
- If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
- Done is the engine of more.

Problem solving = doing, learning, adapting, and doing some more!
