The problem with the number one society. Part four – stonewalling and bunker mentality lead to inaction.
There are times when executives know they are not acting with accountability. But still, they are driven by the obsession to be number one. Rather than blaming, they deny. This takes the form of stonewalling and bunker mentality. Often they delude themselves into thinking they are acting strongly by “holding their position”.
The biggest problem with this behavior is that it leads directly to…. NOTHING! The organization becomes paralyzed. No one can address the issue or begin to move forward because the executive will not admit there is a problem. Because it freezes the organization in a bad position, this can be one of the worst by products of the number one society.
