@arbitrarykitten this is such good advice. For so long, having worked in government where all projects were time-bound - it's a crock because the job took as long as it took - I have to put this into practice.
This is my takeaway form your post:
Laborers charge hourly, leaders charge by the value they deliver.
Thank you!
Reminds me of the city workers who sit around doing nothing as they eat up the contract money...!
