Sometimes pictures can say more than words. Here’s a simple flow chart to help diagnose organizational health and a quick poll.
The top part of this chart is where culture and leadership matters most. The bottom is where capability matters most. The two need to work in sync for a healthy firm. If your firm’s problems are at the top – it’s a leadership problem.. If it’s at the bottom, it’s a capability problem. Employees at most large firms spend way too much time arguing about the bottom – Strategy, Plan and Action when the problem might be elsewhere. (fish rots from the head)
Take a look at the chart below and please take our poll below the chart. What’s your firm’s problem area?
