Real Constrains

Most people blame what they can see: delays, costs, or team inefficiencies.
But what if the real constraint is… you?

It may seem obvious that the core problems behind weak business results lie where the actual work is done: in product delivery, for example, which is also a major source of costs.

However, these issues are the result of cultural and process patterns shaped by the people involved, their skills, behaviors, and mindsets.

And those, in turn, are shaped by a deeper layer: your organizational system’s design.

That includes not just structures and roles, but also HR policies, line management practices, and more.

Yet even this isn’t the true root.

❗️Senior leadership creates the organizational system.

Even if middle managers, line managers, or even teams are authorized to make certain organizational decisions, this distribution of authority is still a result of the system’s design, and it is senior leadership who makes that design choice.

So, how do senior managers choose certain organizational solutions and reject others?
Their decisions are shaped by their own mindsets, skills, and motivations.
And that’s the level we need to address if you want to maximize business results.

Your senior leadership team may not directly deliver customer value, but they design the system that does.

If you're serious about maximizing business performance, ensure your senior leadership develops the skills and mindset needed to design organizations that can thrive in today’s world.

Fixing surface problems won’t get you far.
Fixing the system? That’s where the shift begins.
