Dysfunctionacity

Organizational dysfunction is a tenacious beast. 

Here are some of the culprits:

• Lack of Transparency - Healthy organizations, on the other hand, make a habit of full disclosure, honesty, and transparency with ALL stakeholders.
• Pretending - Healthy organizations, on the other hand, look the "elephant in the room" squarely in the eye, and name it openly. Then, they deal with it.
• Pettiness - Healthy organizations, on the other hand, have a persistent habit/norm of NOT letting the business become "personal." Wearing feelings on sleeves is no way to accomplishment great things. 
• Comms Voids - Healthy organizations, on the other hand, have systems in place to keep information, decisions, and expectations flowing like a steady stream. Brevity, precision in language, and consistency in communications rules! Informed teams are teams that have and feel the freedom to attend to the work.
• Freedomlessness - Empowered and healthy teams, on the other hand, feel the freedom to troubleshoot problems, innovate, dissent, and dialogue. Backroom politics are marginalized and disincentivized. 

Looks like a wish list, huh? Wishing won't make it happen... 

Tame the beast!
