An observation about economics broadly and running companies narrowly:
There are a lot of free lunches, but they're not equally distributed.
There are a lot of free lunches, but they're not equally distributed.
(There is a saying in economics “There is no free lunch.” which has a certain intuitive appeal but is just obviously observationally false. We live in a world where “Doctor: wash your #*{^#ing hands” before surgery saves lives.)
On the good news/bad news front, some of the people/orgs/countries/etc who most need help can still nosh on free lunches like:
“That thing you want more of: do you measure it with numbers?”
“Have you considered taking attendance and firing government employees who do not exist”
“That thing you want more of: do you measure it with numbers?”
“Have you considered taking attendance and firing government employees who do not exist”
“Prior to building the thing perhaps you should talk to the people who would use it.”
“When in doubt, write it down.”
“When in doubt, write it down.”
