You know what’s scary?
Not when something is backed by nothing.
But when it doesn’t matter.
Because the system already made sure
you need it anyway.
Here, take this note.
You’ll need it to buy oil.
USD.
Supply doesn’t follow demand.
It follows incentives.
When demand is high, supply rushes in to sell at higher prices.
That’s what pushes prices down.
When demand disappears, supply disappears too.
No incentive, no supply.
Most managers think their team are incapable.
In reality, their system is just unpredictable.
When everything is:
– sudden
– urgent
– shifting
even good teams look weak.
This is not about defending the team.
Without a predictable system, you’re not evaluating performance objectively.
You’re just reacting to chaos.
