Organizations should foster a culture that promotes asking ‘what can I do with what I have?’ and rejects the paralysis and distraction that comes from ‘what must I have to act’ such as a bigger budget or larger team. Organizations that stretch challenge employees about how to do the most with what they have by purposefully imposing constraints, ripping up plans and learning from spontaneous action, combining unexpected resources, using expectations to boost the value of resources, and putting to work the untapped contributions of all employees.
