Here are 10 non-financial signs that I feel are indicators of some future troubles for any business organization:
- Immediate bosses are disregarded and subordinates frequently jump levels for guidance on operational issues. And no body is bothered by this!
- Meetings are badly conducted, are never ending, and don't reach any conclusion.
- Analysis till the last detail but extremely poor implementation becomes a norm. In other words, analysis rather than action becomes the end of everything.
- Rationalization rather than confrontation of the issues and realities becomes the order of the day even at higher echelons of management.
- Servility rather than professionalism becomes the rule of the day.
- Highest disregard for time of self and others becomes an open secret.
- Personal agenda starts getting priority over organizational or business agenda.
- Promotions become dependent on subjective rather than objective criteria.
- Average stay of employees hired from other organizations starts declining.
- E-mails remain unanswered by majority of employees.
Looks very astutue to me :-)
