What kills organizations (& municipalities)

This is inspired by Seth Godin’s Blog (I am compressing his 12 traits to 4).  This is precisely why I stopped watching news.  Does your organization:

  1. Focus on urgent instead of important
  2. See trees instead of the forest
  3. Resist changing course
  4. Confuse opinions of a loud minority as desire of the majority

To paraphrase Seth Godin, if I wanted to hobble an organization (or even a country), I’d wish these traits on them.  Does this sound like your municipality?
