results-driven
Prioritizing measurable outcomes
Results-driven describes someone focused on achieving measurable outcomes rather than following processes for their own sake.
The term appears constantly in job postings and résumés, where it signals pragmatic goal orientation: We're looking for a results-driven sales manager.
Like most corporate buzzwords, it's vague enough to mean whatever the speaker needs it to mean.
