Most organizations spend far too much time seeking a small number of miraculous big wins.

But most value in practice is from accumulating no-brainers in a way that creates increasingly more value at an accelerating rate.

Managers will always focus their people by default on the big boulders, not the small acorns.

This is more true the more insecure the manager is and the higher the pressure to show short-term results.

"I don't care if that could grow big with low risk, I need a big win now or the game might be over for me!"
