While my perfectionist urges toward presicion were quickly ground away, I have to say I appreciate your frustration as described in this old post. In my career, so far, your consultant’s admonition is sometimes easier said than done. My series of managers rarely had a clear connection to the supposed problems we were directed to solve, ‘for less cost.’ Never was there a consistent direction or clear mission beyond muddle foward and try not to spend.

I’ll hope you’ve found some managers, since, who are at least more attuned to aligning the tasks with a clearer mission.
