You Do Not Need More

19/6/2017

 
Picture
​People want more. More money, more people, more time.
 
Corporate life consists of people who throw more people at a problem. Mostly without realising this can make things worse.  Or alternatively, this mindset can be complicit in promoting activities that do not need doing in the first place.
 
More money.  Buying TV ads that no one watches because we did it last year and we need to do something otherwise what are we getting paid for?
 
More time.  Consistently insisting on ever increasing meeting lengths rather than looking to cut out the unnecessary peacocking of Dave the over confident and uninformed account manager or the dithering of Deborah the delayer of decisions.
 
More time needed leads to more people needed. More people needed leads to more fixed cost. More fixed cost leads to more reliance on hitting forecast. 
 
Things are not always good - you can do more than you think with less. But when you try to do less with more, that’s when the "restructuring" and the layoffs begin.
 
Unfortunately, like a government bailout or the collapse of a public service, it is those that made the organisation fragile in the first place the ones that usually escape unharmed. 
 
You are not employed to only get results in perfect circumstances.  Cut the unnecessary and do more with what you already have.
