I knew someone a long time ago that was so incredibly gifted and it was so obvious that the person was going to impact lives positively on a global level. Serious character flaws has prevented that person from attaining one-tenth of what they could have accomplished. The sad part is, they are operating at 10% of capacity and still touting to the world like they are at 120%. It’s a blind spot…
This happens to organizations where their blind spots are hiding opportunities to do better and to improve. Some orgs are not as open to innovation as they should be. Some leaders make themselves the only contributors to product strategy and some encourage such insane politics that they miss out on relevant and valuable contributions from staff that don’t make it to the top of the political game. The list goes on…
It is important to constantly evaluate your true capacity as an organization. The fact that you are generating revenue does not mean that you are doing so at full capacity. Assess the opportunities you find and plug those holes so you can do better and be better as an organization.
