A note from Daniel

Some businesses operate with a scarcity mentality, removing shock absorbers and operating lean, with just enough resources to produce the day's goods. This model is prone to disruption with the slightest hiccup and signals to employees that they're in a culture of scarcity, triggering our biological instinct toward self-preservation. We subconsciously hoard things of value to gain an individual advantage.
