Focus on Heroic efforts instead of processes.
The leaders that frequently rely on heroic efforts as a substitute for effective processes end up wearing out their employees’ goodwill. Having poor processes, or tampering with processes without understanding them, creates inefficiency, waste, delays, and rework.
This ties to another discussion on moving forward without real planning or organization--relying on past experience to 'simply take them through to finish'. Unfortunately, as i expressed in another thread, projects start with a conceptual stake in the ground at 'Point A' (The Requirements) and should have another conceptual stake in the ground AT 'Point B' (The expected outcome. Without good planning, the end point is often at 'Point C', which generally means failure.

Anyone who thinks they can rely solely on 'heroic' efforts ends up being a fool.
