7. Everyone Seems Busy but the
Output is Low
• Employees busy
creating work for
other
employees, which
does not benefit
the customer
• People in the
company have a
sense of being
overwhelmed
with work and
may experience
burnout

8. Organisational Leaders are
Constantly “Fighting Fires”
• Reactive leadership The “CEO”
instead of proactive
leadership
• Recurrent problems not
identified and resolved
at the root
• Operational problems
distract leaders from
seeing the bigger picture
and making strategic
moves

9. Complicated and Repeated
Processes Causing High Costs and
Low Productivity
• Multiple forms and
approvals needed for an
internal decision or
function
• New employees require
an extended period of
time to learn about how
the organisation operates
• The clerk with 20 years of
experience becomes the
most critical employee
