Reminds me of some company situations I’ve seen where the team is caught in the “hell cycle” of putting out fires, responding tactically to competitor moves, and focusing on the immediate next earnings report. Everyone is working hard because everything is urgent. Some people even get promotions for addressing urgent issues. But eventually people burn out and get disenchanted with the whole thing. And then there are fewer people left to manage the fires.
It’s not the way to build a lasting company, and certainly not the way to build a lasting political movement...
Good post Mike. We need much much more. Abundance agenda. Growth mindset.
Love the long term vs “right now” dichotomy.
