The Root Cause of Management Paralysis (Video)
First of all…thanks so much for visiting Blue Ink, it’s an honor and privilege to have you drop in. I hope you’ll be back regularly!
I’m an explorer, creative visionary, and purpose-driven leader with a passion for inspiring people and organizations to discover their full potential, create vision and reach beyond their limits to make a difference in the world.
In addition to the very “structured” work of leading teams and being an executive consultant/strategist in a Fortune 500 company, I’ve also had the fulfilling experience of serving people in all walks of life through individual & group coaching, speaking & writing, as well as leading community outreach efforts to needy neighborhoods.

Very insightful! I completely agree that this can apply at home and work. One future topic…how do we determine if we’re in the right role (like the misplaced executives you mentioned)?
Seems like this problem is particularly common in matrix-management organizations, especially those going through rapid change and growth, as you noted. It can be tough to continually re-define roles through change/growth, especially when (as you also noted) specific people are needed to fulfill multiple roles and are simply stretched too thin. I’ve seen situations like this where even good matrix management doesn’t properly adapt to change and becomes “management soup.”
