Paralysis
Politics, hidden agendas, greed, illness, religion, complacency can all get in the way of top team performance. Circumstances are never the same, nor is the degree to which any one or all of these things can impact an organisation.In addition further complexity derives from top performing teams that are made up of diverse nationalities, religions, black and white, old and young, able bodied and disabled, male and female.
So the trick, above all else, is to be aware of the shifting sands. Top people have to incorporate this diversity somehow for the good of the organisation. World-class competition, customers wanting more for less, the need for corporate transparency means that you can’t allow anything to get in the way of organisational performance.
Sometimes even old rivalries or past favours granted come into the equation. The real issue can even be, to what extent does the CEO’s obligation to an individual override an obligation to the organisation? It’s a tough call, but one that has to be faced.
