Uma prenda

Era capaz de jurar que já tinha chamado a atenção para este texto "How to Achieve Breakthrough by Embracing Constraints":
"When most people get hit with a constraint of limited resources like this one, they either fall victim to the constraint and revise their ambition downwards, or they confront the constraint head-on and look for ways to brute-force it.
...
Instead, they chose to do something very different.
.
They found a way for achieving their goal of keeping their existing routes with three planes instead of four planes. They did this, not by brute-forcing, but embracing their constraint. Here’s how.
...
Instead of focusing on the obvious resource limitation, they turned their attention elsewhere.
...
Rather than viewing these constraints as limitations, Southwest Airlines turned them into a differentiated positioning statement:
...
The word "constraint" evokes a negative feeling in most people.
...
From a systems perspective, however, constraints are gifts. Every system always has one and correctly identifying that single constraint holds the key to practicing "right action, right time". The biggest results come from just a few key actions. The challenge, of course, is identifying where to focus and more importantly what not to do.
.
When faced with a constraint, there is a third way: To embrace the constraint AND still achieve your goal. You do this by asking a key the following key propelling question:
.
How do I achieve "the goal" without acquiring more of the limiting resource (constraint)?
.
This mind shift is the first step towards breaking constraints."

Como não recordar isto!
