Just downloaded Naval’s book. Your review that 25% of the book is neither inspiring nor helpful is refreshingly honest and hooked me in. And now I must know which 25%!
I love that I sold the book on the negative review, haha. He's a very accomplished entrepreneur and investor so I loved his take on his professional life, but then it gets into his life philosophies and he's not the guy I'd turn to for that. The book is written in an interview style, so every answer is independent. It's easy to skip the parts you don't care about.
In my experience there has to be some time to deliver, and some time to think about strategy - in order to deliver better.
We can do and run a lot every single day, but if the direction is not the best to reach the peak we choose, we'll find ourselves far from where we really wanted to be.
Strategic thinking means deciding which direction to follow.
Deciding means cutting off what's not needed or just the best to get what we desire.
And this determines how we use our limited time to get the best of it.
So, even after you'll figure out how to transform your company, if I could give a honest opinion, I'd say "don't stop meeting". It doesn't have to be all the day, neither every day, but a company who wants to move forward needs a founder indicating the direction to follow - and eventually, the corrections needed along the path.

This is my modest opinion, of course. :)
