It’s them!

In organizational life there are a lot of “thems”.  And, they are all up to no good.  You know them:

• The executive who must have been smoking something when they came up with that idea
• Those senior managers who clearly don’t know what they’re doing
• Those executive assistants who have nothing to do but gossip
• Middle managers and front line supervisors who are simply incompetent and never do the cascades [read anything] the way they were supposed to
• All employees who come to work to do a bad job, waste time on the internet, stand around talking, break the rules
• Those guys  in corporate who are always asking us for reports and making our lives miserable
• Those guys in the region who never do what we ask and make our lives miserable
• Our colleagues upstream/downstream/in operations  who just can’t get their processes right, deliver on time, do anything right
• Those guys in region X or product Y who don’t do ‘it’ like they’re supposed to
• The consultants who cost too much and deliver so little
• Our customers who question our service, aren’t happy with our products.

What’s this all about?  What about us?
