This is tough, both mentally and emotionally. For example, see a company, or any work organization as a part of a bigger system (as a node in a supply network) rather than as a lone entity obligated to its own P&L statements. What appears efficient for a lone entity may not be efficient or effective for the total system. The opposite of this is often called reductionism: belief that a whole can be understood by understanding its separate parts, or that if we “improve” each of the parts, we improve the whole. Eschew reductionism.
