Failing to act, acting to fail


Very few companies implode like a supernova. All too often the distress signals are visible for some time before the flame out.
When faced with mounting problems it is highly likely that the solutions will of necessity be painful. However, radical and decisive surgery is often the only way to ensure a patient’s survival.
Many companies adopt the Mr Micawber attitude that “something will turn up”. In the overwhelming majority of such cases the only people likely to turn up are the administrators/liquidators.
Be it merely inertia or fear of addressing the problem issues the outcome will inevitably remain the same.
