Every large business ends up with the same three core functions: acquisition (sales and marketing), operations (IT, legal, HR), and customer delivery (product, engineering). Once you see this pattern, you stop wasting energy jumping between unrelated tasks.
Every business pretty much trickles up to the same thing when taken to its natural extreme, which means you're going to have a head of acquisition who might have a sales director, a marketing director. You're going to have some sort of head of ops who's going to have IT, legal, HR, recruiting all rolling up to them. And you have some sort of customer delivery or product person who's going to have fulfillment, product experience, UX, engineering if you have software that are rolling into them. If that is what the ultimate end of every business is, then guess what your day-to-day looks like in a really big business. The same in just about every business. The idea that you need to keep jumping from thing to thing to thing when the ultimate expression of that business is going to be the same for you at the end kind of seems stupid.
