Hub You - Learning Disability 7 - Management; a Team or Prima Donnas in Suits?
Often long-standing and successful companies cannot maintain the growth they wish or due to external forces they need to modify their operations significantly.

As we have described management disabilities over the past in this mini series, the faults or problems that can easily befall us all are put to the test in the management team. This group has to battle the demons that surround the organization and still come out smelling like roses!
In larger organizations, managers feel a need to look good and protect their own credibility. They hire people similar to themselves or people not as smart so they can ‘coach’ them. They look good and their subordinates keep it that way. Wittingly or otherwise. An appearance is created of a well oiled management team, the frog is being boiled. Decisions are compromises and as democratic as a third world government. Decisions are seldom thought through and dialogued, seldom is one voice heard above the others when something doesn’t seem quite right. Disagreement is about laying blame, learning’s are lost, differences hidden, opinions are diverse. Poor frog.
Management teams remind me of the prisoners’ dilemma – the Economics of game theory.

Management’s approach to surviving the top floor has often been to talk fast and talk often, never listening to others that may throw you off your stride or interject with facts.
We reward those that solve the problems not those that pose the problems…
Posing solutions under the guise of being proactive or to be seen as a 'hero' manager makes business management even worse, but managers often use this approach to win favor and gain PR points.
Does this seem like a learning organization in the making?
Get out, learn, dialogue, evaluate, share understand the system
