Obstacles to Execution
1. There is a real void of clear, direct and understandable communication. This results in people doing what they want to do, not what they need to do and breeds a climate of not caring about the customers/clients or their colleagues.
2. Dysfunctional behavior is accepted or ignored and worse yet, colleagues, management reward it.
3. There is no definition of what is acceptable and what is unacceptable.
4. Management do not promote and confirm that accountability is a key principle within their company.
5. Good people may leave because of frustration that their employees are ignoring the issue and is not proactive in seeking and implementing a solution to change the environment.
