Organizational Yoga

Managerial overconfidence, complacency, and taken-for-granted assumptions, can be the biggest barriers to future organizational success.

The market can (and will) provide managers with all of the environmental feedback necessary to make critical decisions regarding future organizational direction(s)/business models.

Increase your flexibility by practicing organizational yoga...or you can kiss your business goodbye.

1. Analyze external exceptions to rules
2. Analyze past trends to predict future needs
3. Fall out of love with ideas that aren't working
4. Create a consequence-free environment where employees feel safe to share "bad news"
