The Amazon leadership principle, "good leaders are right a lot" is, if you think about it, the philosophical opposite of agility (but not in the waterfall sense). If it is worth being "right a lot" it means the costs of being wrong are non-trivial. More right = fewer iterations.

Wait, did you take “right a lot” to mean right a higher % of time? (I take it to mean a high number of rights that could come with a lot of wrongs mixed in.)

Didn’t think it through. Does the distinction affect my conclusions?
