De las vacas sagradas salen las mejores hamburguesas

Today I want to address the issue of "Sacred Cows" in organizations, how many times we have not found these specimens within the companies?

I agree with the proposal Kriegel, Robert J. Brandt, David - The sacred cows are the best burgers, I think companies need to break paradigms for developing people and organizations are much more willing to change

Sacred Cows generally have the following pattern of behavior:

    Cronófagos
  1. are by nature = specialists in removing the time of the resources that are working through motivational speaking or past experiences of a now extinct.
  2. experts are all but do not run anything = phenomena of great imagination, they can extrapolate their experiences to problems facing the organization, but its capacity execution or to turn that experience is actually zero. They
  3. orangutan syndrome = Only living among the branches, live in the canopy and jump from branch to branch, they are seldom seen on the ground near the roots of the problems.
  4. easily identifiable = are generally recognized within the organization are easily identifiable and usually have a low level of integration in work teams.
  5. major source of global warming = easily alter the organizational environment, risking the general population to extinction, so do not bring in the business ecosystem.
  6. are a black hole in resource use = usually use most of the resources of the organization to achieve its aims, seeking listed as the "savior" of the companies, they charge a lot and nobody in the organization knows why ?

already identified them in your organization?

If you think about it, there are many sacred cows lazily grazing enterprises around the world, and it is time that someone starts shooting at them.

I think that even in many of our organizations we have this type of specimen, which are quite useful to turn them into burgers. The best way to transform the cost of generating resources is to convert them into food for the rest of the business ecosystem and make better use of resources we have in the companies. Be that here the "Guilt is the Cow?" or we the managers of our organizations that intend to cover the reality of organizations and "drugged" by the success?.

My recommendation gentlemen, to identify their "sacred cows" and transform them into hamburger, it is best that you can use this type of resource. That the final count for something. Bon Apetit
