Less is More?

Craig suggests in this leadership video that less is more. He summarizes in three areas. First, less time leads to a better result. Second, fewer resources lead to greater innovation. Third, that less structure is often better. I do not agree with his concept for the first one: less time leads to a better result. I am particularly at odds with his point that more time leads to sloppiness. How less time equals less sloppiness confuses me. When you have more time you can give more attention to the details, thus being less sloppy. I can see if he meant more time can create procrastination, which often leads to sloppy work. However, I feel that less time makes me more apt to feel like the task is un-accomplishable. He says that less time forces creativity and when you have lots of time it just creates more meetings and more planning. He says that it is better to be prepared rather than to plan ahead into the future. He even calls the 5 year plan dead and stupid. Although I agree that a 5 year plan can change, I would think that without a plan you might become stagnate because there is no goal. I do agree with his concept of less structure is often better. When we over policy the church and become rigid observers of our order and system, we lose immediacy to action. Too many groups can also cause polity issues. I like to run with just enough foundational structure to operate.
