Management teams remind me of the prisoners’ dilemma – the Economics of game theory. When you hold two accomplices and give them the option – talk and walk, send your partner away or your partner shops you for the whole deal. If you both say nothing you are home free. Tough call. How we
Can we franchise nations to create a World Franchise System that might be similar to the United States but it would be more like the United Countries in Franchising motif? Would it be strong enough to stay together like the United States has and work together too?The Franchise System grows as the F
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.

Koozies (also known as can coolers) are great to have on a picnic, or when you’re just sitting outside on a hot day. They keep your drinks colder for much longer. Koozies are a great invention, but have you ever stopped and thought about how they work? The simplicity of their design and its effectiveness

It seems funny to think that there could be similarities between career development and motorcycle school, but there was one thing that stood out to me so much that I just had to share it. Although it really wasn’t that obvious to me at the time, 5-some-odd years ago, but looking back, it was a compariso

Management teams that are not learning teams will fall over themselves when issues get tough and they have to apply themselves. Teams split, make irrational decisions or support the wrong team mates. With Sarbanes Oxley in effect, this could mean a jail sentence. Pressure kills faster. mmm, is that poor frog in a pressure cooker?
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
How’s your management team?
