Systems aren’t the point ​

I like systems. If you’re on an effective team, you probably like them too.

• We like systems because they create consistency; of process, of results, of growth, of outcome.
• They’re not the point though; we use systems because using them is better than not using them.
• Systems aren’t what‘s important. Having strong promises is. A team is only as strong as the promises it keeps.

A system that locks you down loses its utility. Don’t be afraid to update, amend yours. The promise is what counts.
