results-oriented
Caring about ends
Results-oriented describes a focus on outcomes rather than processes or intentions.
Someone who is results-oriented cares more about what gets accomplished than how it gets done: We need a results-oriented manager who can turn this department around.
The term is common in business contexts and job descriptions, sometimes suggesting a willingness to cut corners or overlook methods in pursuit of goals.
