Workplaces and workers everywhere are struggling – they are under pressure, stressed out and stretched to their limits.
In your organisation, how many of your leaders have lost their enthusiasm for their role (maybe even you)? They’re uncertain about what’s expected of them because everything is constantly changing as a result of the volatile and uncertain times that we are in. Mounting pressure to ‘innovate’, ‘disrupt’ and ‘think ahead’ add to their woes.
When the demands for new products, services and ideas aren’t being met because of internal struggles and competition, then silo mentalities develop. Human resource departments fend off complaints, chew up precious time resolving interpersonal differences or recruit for roles like it’s a revolving-door policy.
How can an organisation focus on long-term strategic business goals, when everyone is busy putting out short-term spot fires? How can you be competitive externally, if all the competition is happening internally. How can you sustain your high performers without putting them at risk of burnout?
