Poor substitutes aren't worth it

Rules of the Road

There are some rules of the road everyone knows. Stop at a red light. Go when it turns green. Follow the speed limit (in general). But there are others that people forgot or never knew. Like you cannot turn left over two sets of double yellow lines. The rules exist to keep traffic moving safely. And when people don’t follow them, it can cause accidents or near accidents.

The same is true in business. When people take shortcuts, make abrupt changes in direction, or disrupt the flow, it can create problems. It is possible to move fast and innovate while following the rules of the road.
