In our bodies, it’s our skeleton that holds everything in the right place.
You’re not going to try to build a muscle that’s attached to a broken bone.
That would be stupid.
So why, in business, do the ‘muscles’ get the most attention, with very little attention paid to the ‘bones’, the structure of the organisation?
When we ensure the bones are right, the muscles can work as they are meant to.
If you keep saying ‘the bad guy won’ and judging everyone who supports them as an idiot, then you are playing right into the ‘good vs evil’ fallacy.
At the South Island Show Jumping Champs late last year, my daughters won the classes they were entered in.
A while ago we were at a horse show. Zara and I walked the course, and I read the jump off and told Zara what it was.
