Real problems require real work, rolling up your sleeves and getting after it. Reorgs are an illusion, smoke & mirrors to cover up problems, to cover for inaction on the inefficiencies, the brokens, the processes and systems implemented with zero or negative ROI. Remove barriers, increase accountability & responsibility… and teams thrive. Reorgs also create the environment where everyone is afraid to speak up. If something isn’t working, and you don’t who owns something, and you’re afraid to speak up - what do you think happens? Inefficiencies grow, expenses rise, morale craters, quality erodes, and ownership is non-existent. Is predictable really. Is glimmers of hope, and that’s good, but it is not translating through layers of management. We make consumer goods, some pretty cool stuff at that - our supply chain doesn’t need to be bleeding edge, nor does our tech infrastructure… but we need accurate inventory, we need to be able to pack a box and load a trailer accurately, and for data exchanged with business partners to be good. If su-k at the basics everything is harder. If su-k at treating people with respect, then you reap what you sow. The #1 asset in any team, in any organization, is people. An inspired athlete, player, team can accomplish amazing things. Athletic teams don’t get better because of management reorgs, they get better with better talent being managed/coached better. If always picking the cheapest and most inexperienced players, and coaching to not make mistakes or to maintain the status quo —- then you’re going to be a bottom feeder, relegated to the minors, etc. How about instead of a reorg we just dump 5 or 6 of the 8 layers of management? How about we make the ‘Coach’ (the first level lead or manger) responsible & accountable… and maybe LISTENED TO!!! The folks getting sh-t done know what’s broken, just LISTEN to them.
