One model for running an organization: a small number of chefs and an army of line cooks.

· Bits and Bobs 3/11/24

This model can allow more efficiently aligning on a specific, opinionated, high-taste vision.

A major downside: if there's a thing in the collective blindspot of the chefs, the organization cannot possibly address it.

Only chefs create unexpected upside; line-cooks can only reach the height of whatever thing they were told to execute.

Chefs are somewhat like gardeners, line-cooks are like builders.
