But our day-to-day life is mostly made up of journeys. We don’t summit peaks every day, or make the big score, or get a big bonus. Most of our days are taken up with striving toward our goals, whatever they may be. In a company, the goal may be to deliver that next great product, or make people’s lives a little better with it, or solve some problem that vexes the world. But if we get rewarded only for results, not processes, we’re going to be pretty miserable.
