Cons
During the most recent period of scaling up: -Endless politics and general lack of direction gets in the way of actually getting stuff done. Competing interests between stakeholders and lack of communication between key individuals leads to little alignment and ongoing confusion regarding work priorities amongst the teams and individuals. -Development of company strategy isn’t inclusive of perspectives from different teams, and execution of strategy is directed rather than collaboratively achieved. A lack of shared accountability towards meeting company objectives means finger pointing is rife when things go wrong. -Team scaling strategy is very reactive and seems to be more about increasing the amount of bums on seats with little thought as to what value those individuals are going to add at a holistic level. Skilled individuals aren’t given opportunity to excel in their role or add value until they’ve been “given permission” to do the work they’ve been hired to do.
