I’m sure you are familiar with this, ‘It was not us! It was the former management / leadership!”.
Often happens when there is a change in management / leadership.
Why does this happen?
Probably,
- Lack of engagement with former management.
- Lack of confidence in the former management’s decision.
- Lack of understanding why certain decision was made the way it was made.
- Self-gain to escape or achieve something which is important at this point of business.
- Survival need to support current leadership.
and the list may go on and on.
This is a reflection of an organization’s culture. And it is a poor culture where the existing employee / new management is very shallow in approaching issues at hand.
It is important organization build their new leadership with strong minds where an issue is approached as an issue and not in the expense of a former employee.
Let’s work together in forming a good work culture and build strong new leaders.
