Death by KISS

OK, I don't know what's wrong with my middle management team but sometimes I swear that they like to make the simplest thing 1,000 times more complicated that it needed to be...



KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID!

I personally think it’s a mark of poor leadership skills and lack of competency when a manager needs to “make things more complicated” before proposing a solution to solve the issues… why, oh why do you need to make things worse before solving them?

Maybe it’s a “manager complex” thingy that’s going on here… some people feel the need to paint the most hopeless picture to their bosses before they come in and save the day with a simple solution… but heck, who the hell are these people kidding?

The one who has to do all the heavy lifting is their subordinates… this kind of leadership behaviour is very corrosive in the workplace. Essentially, the manager will be wasting the subordinate’s time and productivity on a wild goose-chase…

So, let’s cut to the point and put more effort to solve a particular problem, rather than spinning it out of control!

But hey, in corporate world, everybody would like to think that they are saving the world… but none know how to keep is simple…

p/s: oh yea, first post after a long break, I rant about my work... ha ha, oh well
