I am often that getting things done guy, and have definitely incurred my share of debt in terms of mistrust or ill will from some folks.
That said, doing that is a calculation and is done to achieve the organizations mission. That may be restore a customer out of service (sorry, we’ll do it tomorrow, busy) or hit a milestone that matters on time (we’d love to, but expediting some change process is a lot of work).
Unfortunately, in these situations I’m empowered to make tactical changes, but not to make more valuable strategic change. From my perspective process and controls are there to make things go faster, not as a weapon to make sure folks leave at 4. The trains need to run.
