Rushing to cross the wrong finish line hits a nerve for me, especially when you see the train wreck that’s to come but simply don’t have the power to fight against higher management with their misplaced objectives. I wish I knew how to persuade them to work towards the right goal back then; I’m still looking for the best argument to do that right now.

Great article!
