Principle 14 of 14
Results Over Empire
Because only a few people will be used in engineering and most other areas, ways must be provided to reward good performance by pay not based on the number of personnel supervised.
— Kelly Johnson, Skunk Works Rule #14
How We Apply This at Skunk Global
In most companies, success means managing more people. That's backwards. At Skunk Global, success means shipping great products—not building an empire. We reward results: products shipped, problems solved, customers helped. Not headcount grown, meetings attended, or org charts expanded. The goal is impact, not influence. Quality of output, not size of team.
