Entrepreneur Sukhinder Singh Cassidy argues the judgment to know at what level to examine your business at any given moment is a vital leadership quality. Using a short anecdote from her time at Google, Singh Cassidy explains successful founders and executives must understand the tactical drivers of a business to effectively manage from the top of an organization.

JOYUS Founder Sukhinder Singh Cassidy explains the importance of identifying who in a venture serves as the "product prophet," the person with the vision of what will come next for the consumer. She explains that venture firms want to invest in companies that have this person on the team and why this is not always the person serving as CEO.

"The act of commitment is not about thinking about it in your head, it's about literally leaning forward and taking the first step," says JOYUS Founder Sukhinder Singh Cassidy. She describes how the simplest way to start working on a new venture or idea, particularly for young entrepreneurs, is to engage in the basic mechanics of discussing and planning with others.

As an entrepreneur, should you be thoughtful or fast? Entrepreneur Sukhinder Singh Cassidy sees this as a false dilemma and encourages entrepreneurs to focus on increasing the rate of learning. While speed is of the essence, says Singh Cassidy, "speed should not be confused with market timing."

Everyone says not to compromise when it comes to hiring, but what does that tactically mean when you need to ship product, asks entrepreneur Sukhinder Singh Cassidy. Here the JOYUS co-founder talks about the need to fairly evaluate employee skill and value sets, while still preserving enough space to make changes to your team as the needs of a company alter over time.

Entrepreneur Sukhinder Singh Cassidy challenges the audience to identify their "trademark strengths." Knowing these is crucial, says Singh Cassidy, as the company you create will eventually come to reflect who you are for good and bad. She shares a personal story of learning from colleagues how these strengths are often different than you might think.

Founders often work in environments where data to test assumptions is not yet available, according to JOYUS Founder Sukhinder Singh Cassidy. Rather than working solely from instinct, or becoming paralyzed by too much data, Singh Cassidy suggests an approach in the middle where you quickly gain data and test your gut instincts to create "informed intuition."
