It’s Probably Fine
summary
Claims a concrete framework: four layers: mission, strategy, tactics, execution and actionable heuristics rather than fluffy vision statements. Argues to measure progress not state and uses hiring as a tangible example—focus first on building interview capacity, then scale headcount. Shows tactics as team APIs, prescribes proximate objectives, and insists on tight feedback loops. Offers four practical diagnostics — four questions: clarity, capacity, incentives, feedback — that reveal what to fix and how to verify it works.
