Meraki and craftsmanship eat processes and tools for breakfast

The tightest, most documented process that brings a tear to the eye of an obsessive-compulsive, detail-oriented manager…

The most “agile” process with whatever elaborate rituals some caste of certified managers and coaches has set up within an organization…

The most expensive and “world-class” project management hashtag#software to document tasks and manage their prioritization…

The most moving and inspirational (more often: aspirational) blabla about a company’s culture and values…

The latest and greatest infrastructure, be it lavish offices or cutting-edge laptops with 32 GB of RAM and Retina screens and screaming fast CPUs…

All that, and many more “must-haves” that people preach about in books and on LinkedIn…

All that is irrelevant and utterly secondary to the impact of those in a team having the hard skills to get the job done, whatever the job is, and the willingness and ability to roll up their sleeves and get to the bottom of it with μεράκι (meraki, aka “gusto”) and craftsmanship.
