Minor messes are common events. Most are fairly easily cleared up. Top bosses do not usually need to know. Cover up of things only happens in
organizations where openness is frowned upon, or there’s this believe in
condemnation rather than helping people to learn from mistakes
Everyone must know of people who have just experienced a
disaster in their life, e.g. a divorce, a breakdown, severe physical
injuries. It is important to know
because a bad boss can be such a disaster and can do great damage to the
service and staff.
Major messes can result from one person’s mistake, but they
can lead to better control, maybe even revision of the law. Even though there are still pearls inside the
rotten oysters, there are still a few points to consider:- Appropriate precautions need to be taken to avoid disasters
- Have disaster recovery plan
- Do not wait for disasters to happen
- Do not delay necessary changes
- Think radically before changing and procedures
- Do all you can to help others faced desasters
