2. Missed Opportunities
When a team lives in chaotic urgency, they miss the opportunities that require foresight and planning. When a team is always reacting to a disorganized leader, the opportunity to be proactive is lost.
3. Low Intentionality
A disorganized leader accidentally trains the team to wait and react. The team is hesitant to plan proactively and intentionally for the future because those plans could be interrupted at any moment with an immediate and urgent need that requires everything else to be put on hold. When the not important, urgent always seems to take precedence, the important is crushed.
Leaders don’t need to be gurus in management and administration, but if they ignore the importance of reaching a threshold of organizational competence, they hurt those they are leading.
