Sometimes what looks good… means nothing.
And sometimes what’s messy, raw, even clumsy – holds real depth.
I’ve seen beautiful slides with zero substance.
And ugly slides that changed everything.
I’ve seen managers who spent days polishing a report –
and forgot to call their employee who’s falling apart.
I’ve seen strategies that looked perfect on paper –
and exploded in real life.

The truth?
Polish takes time.
Time is energy.
And energy is limited.
Not everything should be perfect.
Some things should just be good enough to move forward.
That’s not laziness.
It’s strategic sanity.
That’s why smart managers are satisfizers – not optimizers.
They don’t obsess over every detail.
They push for momentum.
They choose “Minimum Viable Product” over “Maximum Vanity Presentation.”
They know the difference between progress…
and performance for show.

If you read all this –
you’re exactly who I wanted to talk to.
Now it’s your turn:
What do you not obsess over anymore – and what did it free you to do?
I’ll read every comment.
