Ronan Berder (SF + SG)(@hunvreus):"Outcome machines". Love that. Building my previous company, many of my competitors were focused on outcomes, like sales targets. On my end, I was obsessed with designing processes for all the mundane stuff we did every single day. If we couldn't get that right, no amount of pressure on the team would help us hit whatever arbitrary target we had set. But if we built a solid foundation, we could nail execution and that would take care of our targets. Pretty sure I was right.

Beware people obsessed with outcomes instead of building outcome machines. Its worse than ever with AI, but these people existed before. Short term results above all else, etc. Don't fall into the trap. Invest in building strong fundamentals, invisible supports, and outcomes flow like water. An outcome machine.
