If It Works, It Works: The Power of Simple Processes

The latest trends don’t guarantee results. The only question that matters: does it work for you?

Show Notes:
In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee shares a powerful lesson on efficiency and effectiveness from a conversation with a longtime client. While he suggested a faster, “better” way to handle a task, she reminded him that sometimes the established process—even if it looks outdated—is still the right one if it works.

Baylor unpacks why effectiveness beats flash, why leaders must tailor approaches for different people (just like Bill Belichick did with Tom Brady), and why chasing every new hack or trend is a trap. Instead of worrying about what’s fastest or fanciest, the focus should always be: is this moving me toward the result I want?

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why effectiveness is more important than speed or appearance

• How great leaders adapt their approach to fit the person or situation

• Why chasing hacks and trends can hold you back

• How fresh perspectives can help you solve problems you’ve stared at too long

• Why simplicity and consistency often create the best long-term results
