If we could just control the outcome then we’d be happy.
No. Controlling the outcome isn’t enough. We also want to control the process of getting to the outcome.
Because any moment we can’t control has the power to derail the entire operation. And we’re convinced that every uncontrolled moment is most likely in opposition to where we want to go.
Therefore we’re convinced that the more control we achieve or possess, the more on point our process will be. So we shift our focus from developing and implementing a process to attaining control within the process.
Having a ton of control and having a good plan aren’t one and the same.
