tl;dr:(1) “My goal is to create the conditions where amazing people come to do their life’s work.” (2) “I have 60 direct reports, and I don’t do 1 on 1s.” Almost everything that I say, I say to everybody at the same time. (3) “I give feedback right in front of everyone.” (4) “I spent alot of time reasoning with decisions.” (5) “We don't do just vice president meetings or director or board meetings. At the meetings I have, there are new college grads there. There are people from every different organization. We are just all sitting in there.”
tl;dr:(1) Focus on one big thing: Your one big thing is usually important but not urgent. You should do your one big thing as early as possible every day.

In the afternoon, I do tasks that require less mental energy like sharing product updates or consuming content. (3) Ask to discuss async. Peter's favorite response when someone asks to meet is: "can we discuss async first?" And more.
