Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most businesses fail because they want the right things but measure the wrong things, and they get the wrong results.
Most leadership strategies are doomed to failure from the outset.
You know, I think when people are in important positions in big organizations, they often get tied up with the minutia of managing money, managing things. They often forget that people deserve to be led.
The single hardest part of leading any organization is knowing what is going on. There's too much noise in the system, too much complexity: you absolutely depend on people speaking up and raising concerns.
Failure is unfortunately as common as success.
There's a time that may come in an organization where leading by influence is not enough. When things are not going the way they need to go, there's a time when one has to step up... to set the organization back on the right direction.
Failure is the most terrible thing in our business. When we fail, the whole world knows about it.
In the business world today, failure is apparently not an option. We need to change this attitude toward failure - and celebrate the idea that only by falling on our collective business faces do we learn enough to succeed down the road.
Failure too is a form of death.
Ultimately there is no such thing as failure. There are lessons learned in different ways.
