Learning disabilities we are learning about are
1.my Position-People don’t see themselves as part of a bigger structure, they
just do their own job
2. The enemy is out there-As a consequence, when things go wrong you blame
someone else (not doing their job properly), rather than seeing it as a failure of the
system of which you are a part
3. The illusion of taking charge-Taking aggressive action against problems makes
you feel ‘proactive’, although you are actually just ‘reacting’ to the problem
• True proactiveness means stepping back to see how you are creating your own problems and how you can solve them
4. The fixation on events-We have a short-term view of things, and think every event has one cause
• The media makes this work
5. The parable of the boiled frog-If you put a frog in boiling water he’ll jump out, but if you heat his water up very slowly he’ll just sit there happily until he boils
• We tend to miss seeing gradually growing problems because we go at such a frenetic pace
6. The delusion of learning from experience-You can’t learn from experience when
decisions affect other areas of the organization with which there is little real interaction, or when it is a few years before they take effect
7. The myth of the management team-too often these ‘teams’ produce watered-down compromises and break down under pressure
