A speaker wrestles with the urge to tinker with systems that work fine. Changing things without a real business reason costs time, training, and control, resetting performance to zero. The real skill is learning to leave things alone.
I have a huge desire to fuck with shit. I like tinkering with things, but most of the time you don't need to tinker when it is working. A lot of things are good enough. If it's not the constraint of the business, then it's just a cost that you force the business to incur by changing anything. Like, the cost of change is guaranteed. The upside from change is if you have something that's working well, then whenever you change it, everything sets back because everyone has to get retrained on a new process, a new anything, before it gets back to even neutral. Control, let alone whether it improves or not. The big boss that I'm facing right now is just a skill thing that I'm learning, which is just letting things grow without getting in the way.
