Here's a list of suspects:
- Isolation. They listen to one group of advisors, many of whom are clones of the CEO. As the old line goes, when you pick your own doctor, you are your own doctor. Many of the problems could be prevented with more input from employees and first line supervision.
- Distraction. They are focusing on A and the problem comes from D.
- Inaccurate diagnosis. They go after the symptom and not the cause.
- Fatigue. They are too tired and miss points they would otherwise notice.
- Hubris. They believe their own publicity. If they think it's right, it's right.
- Manipulation. They are swayed by advisors who have a negative agenda.
- Rigidity. They get locked into one approach and refuse to budge.
- Indecisiveness. This can be brought on by too much information and the lack of a set of operating principles.
- Pragmatism. Often a plus, this can slip into opportunism.
- Lack of depth. They are too shallow to see the hidden issues.
How many others did I miss?
