A powerful reminder for anyone in leadership or management! This cartoon perfectly illustrates a common failure in many organizations: ignoring warning signs and normalizing dysfunction - all while expecting teams to keep performing at their peak. Instead of listening to those raising the alarm, we: 👉 Minimize critical issues like market changes, burnout, or talent gaps 👉 Push teams to "do more with less" as cracks widen 👉 Say, "It's always been this way," or "Others have it worse," instead of fixing the root problems Here's the truth: ❇️ Leadership is not about pretending everything is fine.❇️ It's about listening, adapting, and having the courage to fix the hole before the boat sinks. It's about focus on building resilient teams and sustainable systems - not just surviving, but thriving. Food for thought for every decision-maker in today's rapidly changing world.
