Ready to Change?
Every firm has challenges they purposely avoid. Are you facing any of these examples?
- An Incompetent Leader rewarded handsomely for poor results
- A Toxic Manager in a position of power infects your firm with a culture of fear, favoritism, and hostility
- A Predatory Legal Team executes a playbook of employee intimidation
- Growing Technical Debt ignored waiting to crush your firm
- Stalled or failed projects without intervention to change course
- Do It Yourself internal projects endlessly wander in the desert of no results
Would it be a bad idea to stop pretending that challenges resolve themselves?
In the first place, it’s rare that firms are proactive. Secondly, how does Leadership overcome common obstacles?
- heavily invested in the status quo
- see only risk to themselves and fail to solve for their firm
- intimidated by imposters
- no playbook to change effectively
If it’s not broken to them, why would they spend their political capital to advocate for the necessary change?
Of course, a crisis is typically the catalyst where an outside perspective is sought or a rescue swimmer is required. Now, complications become obstacles to action. Common challenges include:
- Morale is low, Trust is absent, and Flight Risk is high.
- How do you remove the incompetent effectively?
- How do you solve problems instead of studying them endlessly?
Is there a better way?
Perhaps. Ask yourself three questions:
- Are you afraid to make a change?
- Would it be a bad idea to seek assistance?
- If you are serious, what is your next move?
