Some of the interaction is talking about work, but just as much is spent socializing. As a team gets larger, we either lose productivity or, more often, we start to withdraw socially rather than sacrifice productive time for interacting with our peers, because the communication costs for each team member is becoming too high to afford.

In my view, implementing an organizational change is pretty much like teaching, because just like teaching, it changes people/teams/organization for better. We make a big mistake when we expect everyone across the organization to accept change at an equal rate. It involves creating an impact on how other’s see their work.

I have seen extreme cases where organizations either measure so much or they don’t measure anything at all. You can measure almost anything in your business, but if those metrics don’t serve a real business objectives, they are just numbers with no real meaning. Measurement is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Don’t Kill It!

Most people/organizations don’t think about meaningful changes unless the consequences of not changing are serious or our survival is at stake. I realized that we only change when we “have to” change (externally driven) or when we strongly believe in the result of change (internally driven).
