It is invisible – yet its effects can be seen and felt.
When it’s blowing with you, everything is smooth sailing.
But when it’s blowing against you, everything is more difficult.
What’s “difficult” for you?
It might be that decisions take longer.
Involving more steps;
More people;
More politics.
It might be that decisions don’t even happen.
Meetings about meetings;
Kick it down the road;
“We’ll circle back in the next FY”
It might be that decisions are made that aren’t the best course.
Choosing the wrong approach;
Selecting an unsuitable supplier;
Advertising in the wrong place
That’s that cultural wind blowing against you.
You’ll likely still be successful.
You’ll still perform;
Still hit your KPIs;
Still return a profit
But how much easier, simpler, quicker and less costly could it be if that wind wasn’t blowing you off-course?
