Building a better table (matthewoliphant.com)

Any way of working can be efficient and effective. Right up to the point people get involved. People misinterpret, aren’t knowledgeable or experienced enough, focus too much on internal politics, etc, etc. This means that the When and How of any way of working will likely be applied incorrectly and terribly because everyone’s focus is elsewhere and few work together, or at all, with much intentionality.

We should be acting as Threshold Guardians for ideas and Business should demand that we stand in their way saying, “Are you sure about this, Gary?”

Once we vet the idea, and determine it is worthwhile, we can then be Helpers and Mentors throughout the journey of creation.
