Some
businesses become so distracted by committees, meetings and the “push” of their
immediate attention, the vital questions are no longer asked. It’s assumed all
resources or possible processes are in place. Nothing could be further from the
truth. The larger the organization the easier it becomes to fall into this
mindset.
Poor
leadership with little accountability from the senior management is the tip of
the iceberg. The incompetence flows down to middle management and the lack of
proper assessment continues. When the culture of a business is in a state of
flux or change, fear becomes the only thing that matters.
Consequently,
the organization is spending unnecessary funds, cutting services or budgets to
compensate. The focus on the results
never leads to the correct question to improve the situation. Wash, rinse,
repeat.
The denial
continues because of fear. Nobody wants to be “that guy or gal” and risk their
job by taking charge of making decisions or pointing out the real issues. It
becomes solely about survival.
The Recipe for Failure
·
It’s
far easier for middle management to blame upper management and vice versa.
·
It’s
far easier to spend time putting out fires, than to seek the source.
·
It’s
far easier to rubber stamp everything instead of the risk of stepping on
someone’s toes.
·
It’s
far easier to assume all of our ducks are in line.
·
It’s
far easier to operate by fear, instead of leadership.
·
It’s
far easier to tackle problems we believe we can resolve, instead of the real
issues.
·
It’s
far easier to attend a “generic how to seminar” or hire a company who wants to
tell you what you want to hear in order to achieve re-occurring business.
The Path to Success
Management
and employees need to have the ability to offer suggestions and ask “why?” When

organizational goals.
