Journey and Destination

In the end, it is not only about what you did, what you delivered, or what your end product is, but also about how you did it and how the process went. 

This is what I brought up during the interview yesterday. 

Here’s the explanation: 

I would like to emphasize the journey, not just the destination, deliverables, or outcomes, and highlight the importance of management, ethics, morale, quality of work, and sustainability. This holistic approach is crucial not only in our professional lives but also in our education, personal development, and even in our relationships. 

However, this doesn’t mean the final product is not important. What I mean is that finding a balance between the process and the desired outcome is key, while the final product is undoubtedly important. 

On the other hand, I recognize that this idea may not resonate in every setting. Outcome-driven cultures might prioritize results over processes, and evaluating a process-based approach can be challenging due to its subjective nature.
