Busy and confused
Too busy is not good.
If a specialist is too busy, it means he is not managed well.
If an integrating specialist is too busy, it means he’s given too much to do and he is not managing well.
If a specialized integrator is too busy, it means he is in an impossible position.
If an integrator is too busy, it means he is not in a CEO or chairman role and vice versa: if a CEO is too busy, he’s not an integrator, or he is just confused.
There is a difference between a busy organization and an energetic organization. An organization that is too busy, is constantly loosing energy.
An energetic organization is active and dynamic and there is time for the important things in it.
An organization that is too busy is lethargic and yet it’s racing against time. It knows it can’t win, yet: it sacrifices the important things for the seemingly important ones, to maintain the illusion of winning and the dream of energy and dynamism.
To put it differently: an organization that is too busy is trying to pretend that it’s energetic.
And this pretension is what creates cynicism and sabotage - in some parts of the world even suicide.
