Isn’t “how” you do something just as important as the results? Quality versus Quantity. i.e. Companies that make products without care for the process, materials, construction, they just want to get a product out the door. Restaurants that just heat up food, without care for the freshness, ingredients or cooking. Or anything done without care for quality, method, process, technique.
Of course results are important but it would be like a sports team only focused on the result of winning without focusing on the quality of their process. The danger is measuring progress simply by the results of winning or losing. Developing a culture (product) of quality, performance and excellence takes time and cannot always be accurately judged by the outcome. It’s having confidence in the belief that focusing on the quality and the “how” you do something will eventually produce the results and outcome you want and ultimately be proud of.
The “how” and “why” matter.
