"As a lawyer, you can organize a lot of things.. deadlines, processes, decisions, and then everything looks neat and feels good, but that’s not real control. Just because you adjust a few settings doesn’t mean you own the whole system. People do their own thing, situations take on a momentum of their own… and even the best plan has an unpleasant habit of eventually… veering off course. Some people respond by tightening the screws even more, a little tighter, a little more precise, a little more restrictive. My advice: don’t.. In the end, you might control the process, but rarely what it actually becomes. You hold the strings and only realize too late that they aren’t attached to anything. What can be controlled is often just the surface."
