My only beef is that I feel the obsession with quarterly results is inherently contrary to the principals of sustainability. We're in this for the long haul and whether or not there are a few bad quarters here and there shouldn't be a big deal. By tying people's bonuses to quarterly performance I believe we create an incentive for short-term, unsustainable thinking. Nice summary.
