Underinvestment in Technology. Because Southwest Airlines seems to have the worst, most outdated operating technology in the industry. Failing technology.

Of course, part of that entailed reestablishing the company’s reputation for cutting-edge technology. In 2022, he upped the ante, investing $10 billion in OpenAI to acquire just short of a majority stake. Innovation powerhouses don’t leave innovation up to chance.

Likewise, just because someone has failed in a previous position doesn’t mean that they might not end-up being a top performer for your company. I also believe that if HR is solely charged with the recruiting efforts for senior management and executive level positions you’ll end-up with a very weak management and leadership team.
In high-stress interactions, our walls go up, and our armor comes on and were ready to protect ourselves in any way we can. Our bodies tense up, and were on the defensive. Opening ourselves up to listen and acknowledge the other person or group during a stressful moment, helps those coming to you feel that they can trust you.
While I could go on ad-nauseum with day-to-day operating examples of how a lack of KM discipline can adversely affect a business, I think I’ve probably dredged-up enough painful memories for now. There is an old technology axiom that states “usability drives adoptability&#.

The achievement of current goals and objectives free up the time & create the resources to move on to bigger and better things…Trying to do too many things at once will impede progress, dilute effort & energy, add to chaos and lead to burn-out. Bottom line…success equals focus. I Think Not.
Bottom line…the way you identify leaders is not through psychological profiling or some miraculous transformative process. We must slow down the technology speed and its consequences. They're the ones on behalf of the team who step up and do a faceplant with an oncoming tomato. Thanks, Sami impassioned Hi Mike.
Companies consistently get culture wrong because they go about assessing it, and attempting to manage it from the top-down, not the bottom-up. Also, start-up companies in the Fujitsu technology accelerator program work in the satellite locations as well, creating a company-startup mashup. But what does this mean?

Speak up against the systematic killing of spirit in the workplace. You can make a difference in this, and you will see the impact on your bottom line.
Technology Changes How We Think. One big problem caused by technology is that you’ll quit learning because you don’t have to depend on your own resources anymore. What kinds of things do you do differently today because of technology? Where have you stopped learning because you depend on technology? Bottom Line.
They were the born leaders we all grew up with. I meant this post to be more of a thinking exercise than a choosing-up sides and fighting till the bitter end drill. They were your class presidents, team captains, club leaders, and the people who held virtually all the available leadership positions you can imagine early in life.
Some of us remember the days when we were excited about the possibilities for technology to save us time.

Forbes the Worst CEO Screw-ups of 2012.
