A lot of people feel that chaos is just a way of life. While it is an inevitability at times, it should NEVER be a way of life.
People are just less effective in extended chaos and it adds the risk of burnout to all parties involved. The reality is, extended periods of chaos a unhealthy for you, your teams and your business. It leads to poor decision making, unclear strategy and sloppy execution.
While there will be times that you need to work with and through chaos, it’s important as a leader to take steps to find the source of the chaos and then put an end to it. If not in the immediate, you have to build a plan to have it removed.
This isn’t an easy task, especially when partner departments or even company executives live in chaos themselves…they tend to make it more difficult to remove it…but nonetheless, it’s up to you as a leader to effectively communicate the shortcomings of the lifestyle with data and insights.
