"We spend far too
long moving the deckchairs on the Titanic when we really need to be looking out
for icebergs; we all know that most of an iceberg is below the surface and that
this is the bit that does all the damage."
Brendan Dunphy, 'How to farm lightning'

....and maybe because of
"sacred cows".......? |

|
...and some things you should know about
them.... |
|
|
 |
'Sacred cows' are
the cultures, practices, beliefs
and attitudes that go
unchallenged within a company.
Very often they came about for a
good reason but too often they
linger on beyond their sell-by
date -
know your sacred cows and their
SELL BY dates. |
|
|
Sometimes they may be nothing
more than a joke or a nuisance
but on occasions they can be
real barriers to change -
learn to tell the difference and
recognise them for what they
truly are, DISPOSABLE! |
|
|
Recognise that a
'sacred cow' came into being
because it fulfilled a valid
role in the past BUT the future
may have no need of it
-
learn to recognise the 'tipping
point' when it no longer
creates, but DESTROYS VALUE. |
|
|
Unfortunately
leaders can become very wedded
to their 'scared cows' and fail
to recognise when divorce is the
best for both parties -
help your leadership to
recognise its TIME TO MOVE ON
and celebrate the freedom to do
things differently! |
