As a consultant, I have worked with managers inside several business and governmental organizations.   I’ve found that while products and services may vary greatly, there are several key goals all businesses try to achieve regardless of industry.

1. How to grow or operate sustainably over time
2. How to best allocate company resources
3. How to partner and build strategic relationships

So if we are all asking the same questions, why do some businesses make stable profits, treat employees fairly, and are good corporate citizens year after year while others seem stuck in a rut… demanding cruelly long hours on a shoestring budget, yet still fail to stay relevant over the long term? Where does all that energy go?… Maybe the Deohako metaphor can teach us something… More posts on this topic to come!
