Scenario

When your team talks about long-term impact but makes short-term decisions

Our startup team keeps making decisions based on next quarter's metrics while claiming we're building something that will matter in 20 years, and I don't think we even know what we mean by that. Everyone nods when someone mentions 'long-term thinking' but then we optimize for engagement over everything else.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group is caught between immediate pressures and stated values about generational responsibility.
