Why an organisation does not grow ?

It is not unusual that in today's business environment a lot of business owners will hold back on theirs business plans especially 'business growth plans'. In fact it is alright to hold back temporarily but it got to have time line for this temporary stand still. It should not be allowed as indefinite stagnant.

So What causes an organisations to become stagnant? Well it is invariably the leader of the business (the owner in many cases). As the old chinese idiom goes " Snake without it's head, it will not move". If the leader is not leading and/or leading without any direction then the team as well as the entire organisation will be so dysfunctional until that it is unable to follow.

Patrick Lencioni describes in his book "The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team" where there ae 5 areas in which a team (here i would like to include the entire organisation) can go wrong:

1. Absence of Trust
2. Fear and Conflict
3.Lack of Commitment
4.Avoidance of acountability
5. Inattention to results.

The most important factor among the listed above is the first dysfunction, the lack of trust. Nothing will move if there is no trusts established between the owner and the employees, the leader and the followers, the managers and the staff.

So how to solve this metaphysically ?
Well at least the owner or the leader and the senior manager have to sit at the good sector (in terms of feng shui) and try to utilise the star 3 energy to jolt every one up at the first place.
As Star 3 also has the wood energy in nature which again the wood also signfies growth.

Of course the plans needs to be communicated .Just do it at  the right time, right date to brief the employees, follower or staff (about the organisations plans in how to brave through the temporary tough & rough time now.)
