The Working Week 31: Charles Helliwell
Management-Issues columnist Charles Helliwell joins Wayne on this week’s Working Week for a lively discussion about initiative overload and project paralysis.
With research published earlier this month confirming that most managers are deeply sceptical about the constant stream of projects, ideas and initiatives coming down from on high – believing most of them to be a complete waste of time – Charles and Wayne explore the whole phenomenon of “initiative fatigue”.
Why is it that organisations so rarely seem able to empower their people to finish what they started? And if you do feel you’re suffering from “death by initiative”, what can you do about it?
