Don\u2019t Let Success Make You Complacent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve finally achieved what once seemed impossible, avoid the trap of complacency. According to Varol, success can be as dangerous as failure because we underestimate the role that luck plays<\/a> in success. That\u2019s because when we succeed, we don\u2019t analyze our strategy as much. We think, \u201cIt worked, so it must have been a good strategy<\/a>,\u201d even though that\u2019s not necessarily true. (Shortform note: In Fooled by Randomness<\/em><\/a>, Nassim Nicholas Taleb<\/a> argues that ignoring the role of luck in success<\/a> is a common human fallacy. However, according to Taleb, the bigger the success, the more likely it is that luck was the key determining factor<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varol believes that success is never final, and as humans, we\u2019re never done growing. Therefore, even when you succeed, don\u2019t think of yourself as having \u201cwon.\u201d That mindset is dangerous\u2014you think you\u2019ve already succeeded, so you no longer need to work hard or monitor your progress. Some of the most successful people in history thought of themselves as works in progress, not established champions. This prevented them from becoming complacent. (Shortform note: According to Superforecasting<\/em><\/a> <\/em>authors Philip Tetlock and Dan Gardner, this constant drive for self-improvement is a common trait in \u201csuperforecasters\u201d\u2014people who can predict the future<\/a> with better-than-average accuracy. In fact, Tetlock\u2019s research shows that this mindset is three times more important than any other factor in determining superforecasters\u2019 success.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Rocket Scientists (Failed to) Learn From Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Varol centers this principle on two famous failures in the field of rocket science: the fatal explosions of the Challenger<\/em> and Columbia <\/em>space shuttles. He argues that the underlying cause of both disasters was complacency caused by a string of previous successes. This complacency prevented NASA\u2019s leadership from critically examining small problems<\/a> with the Challenger <\/em>and Columbia<\/em> launches\u2014similar issues had worked themselves out in the past, so NASA leaders mistakenly assumed the same would automatically happen this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In The Chimp Paradox<\/em><\/a>, Steve Peters argues that complacency isn\u2019t the only common reaction to success. Sometimes, success can also generate a paralyzing fear<\/a> that we won\u2019t be able to repeat the performance. In the case of the Challenge and Columbia disasters, it\u2019s possible that this fear of failure<\/a> and the accompanying pressure to succeed pushed NASA leaders to take unnecessary risks rather than publicly admitting to a problem.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How You Can (Actually) Learn From Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here are Varol\u2019s tips for learning from success and avoiding complacency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Pay attention to \u201cnear misses\u201d<\/strong>\u2014successful experiences where things almost went terribly wrong but didn\u2019t\u2014instead of waiting to learn from spectacular successes or failures. (Shortform note: Varol argues that it\u2019s easy to overlook \u201cnear misses\u201d and lump them with other successes, but other authors disagree. For example, in David and Goliath<\/em><\/a>, Malcolm Gladwell describes how people who survive a traumatic experience often view it as a \u201cnear miss\u201d; however, the traumatic experience often becomes a sticking point in their lives<\/a> and is neither easy to forget nor classed as a success.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Always analyze your decisions, and do so objectively. <\/strong>Before making a decision, Varol recommends using a premortem analysis\u2014a thought experiment<\/a> in which you assume that you\u2019ve already made a particular decision and it went horribly wrong. Try to explain what went wrong, then come up with ways to avoid those pitfalls. As you go, list a rough probability for each possible issue. This will give you a clearer picture of the situation before you begin a new venture. It\u2019ll also prevent you from slipping into complacency and assuming things will go right. (Shortform note: According to The Obstacle Is the Way<\/em><\/a> <\/em>author Ryan Holiday, this technique dates all the way back to Stoic philosophers<\/a>. The philosopher Seneca advised his students to plan their reactions to potential negative outcomes in advance so they\u2019d never be caught off guard.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After making a decision, Varol recommends using a postmortem analysis to figure out what went wrong (and what went right) in something that already happened. When you conduct a post-mortem analysis, ask yourself which parts of the outcome were due to luck and which were due to good decisions or skill. (Shortform note: If you lead postmortems for a team, be sure to vary your questions after each project<\/a>, as Catmull advises in Creativity, Inc<\/em><\/a>. <\/em>Otherwise, your team may begin to predict your questions, leading to less critical thinking on the spot.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
