Entrepreneurs who will succeed in their enterprise will give serious attention to the system upon which the business will run. System has to do with the process upon which the business will thrive and be sustained a long period after it has started. The system gives life to the organization while the structure gives it frame for stability.
Unfortunately, most entrepreneurs over - emphasize structure and at the beginning of the business and later start looking for how to squeeze a system into the structure. That is nothing but putting the cart before the horse. Entrepreneurs who engage in systems thinking, are at a great advantage for success and sustainability.
Furthermore, dysfunctional businesses and organizations that are suffering from either average or below average performance often ignore systems thinking. They concentrate efforts at revamping their dwindling fortunes, depleted profits, mass exit of intelligent and hard working personnel on simply looking for ways to structural adjust their operations at the detriment of systems thinking. little wonder, they achieve insignificant results because the problems remain intractable. #LeadershipBites #AlfredOladapo(harvard SLI '08) #GoGetSkills!
