Jim Thompson emphasizes the fundamental goal of any
business: generating invoices and receiving payment. He asserts that the
"invoice printer" is the most crucial machine, as its operation
signifies a successful exchange of goods or services. Thompson critiques
management approaches that overemphasize process over this core objective,
particularly for new employees who might lose sight of the ultimate aim. While
acknowledging that most businesses, unlike some large tech companies, require
structured processes due to the nature of their products, he stresses the
importance of regularly auditing and streamlining these processes to ensure
they remain aligned with the primary objective of revenue generation.
Ultimately, the piece advocates for a constant focus on the "invoice
printer" as the path to business success.
