Game in the Brain

I’ve seen Clients as an excuse to avoid management Responsibilities. Management as defined as: Process optimization and development, Monitoring of the System and its output, Prioritization (which may mean allowing some projects not to have as much resources and have more delays) and Corrective Actions (which may include disciplinary actions).

One of the most Striking use of the Excuse is when the Company is Performing at the Negative CHRONICALLY (more than one year) and Clients have continuously been an excuse to avoid corrective action.

This is where if you do the math: if it will come up negative and I correction (MANAGEMENT) is not in my Cost Benefit Analysis – then I should be working some place else.

Whats the point of Running a Business to the Ground? Its not your money, its the company’s money. In fact when there is no Management – then the company has no grounds to correct or remove the poor performer. That the beauty of failing to Perform Management Activies – You cannot be held accountable because there is no PROOF you did improve or destabilize the organization.

Of course in higher courts and more complicated legal proceedings this is not true. A serious audit of Company documentaition and performance will make contrary such Self Serving Negligence but it is at the Great Cost and Burden of who ever asks for Proof – since the burden of proof is shifted by not having any Management activity in the first place.

The absence of REPORTs should be proof itself.

One of the basic things about Cost Accounting and in Accounting is that – If the goal is not to spend money, there is no point of going into business – this is one of my favorite classic accounting introductions.

Then from that point we get the “We do business at a cost that nets us our ongoing concern“. If Management is not a priority and many other excuses are made to avoid its performance  – then we’ve violated the principle that “We do business at costs that nets us an ongoing concern”. If the performance is a negative and Management is not part of the strategy, then the question should be – Should we just Quit Now? It can be that simple. 

Having seen an Audit where the Auditor asked for Proof and the Auditee would choose not to understand the request – I am not surprised if this blatant denial of reality is occurs everyday.
