Like it or not, you are part of an intricate, complex, and interdependent machine. You need inputs and outputs to operate. Your outputs are other people’s inputs. That’s how the machine works. When it works, it’s beautiful, mesmerizing, and powerful. When it doesn’t, it’s ugly, wasteful, and annoying.

The performance of the system is limited by the bottlenecks that exist inside the system. Don’t be the bottleneck.

Don’t let others wait for your part of the job. Ever.
