The Reorganiser syndrome

Reorganisation is the great sin of the twenty-first century. The fear, pressure or simple egotism makes it necessary for the executive to change, organise things in his / her way, before he / she even considers why processes are carried out in this other manner. The temptation to do something, to appear in motion, although it is not very clear where one is going and in which path we are taking everyone else is the most obvious danger of falling into the arms of this "managerial sin."

The Nomad complex

“Live fast and leave a beautiful corpse." This fifty year old phrase is attributed to the late American actor James Dean is more popular than ever before in today's organizations.

The Caesar Syndrome: “Divide and Conquer”

It was Gaius Julius Caesar who first uttered the famous phrase; Divide et impera. In the following two thousand years of history, there have been many celebrated figures, including Winston Churchill, who have followed this strategy. However, in terms of leadership, "divide and conquer" is the clearest symptom of the seventh of the capital sins of the leader; the "Caesar syndrome." The leader affected with the syndrome, instead of building teams, destroys them, promoting individualism, distrust and proxy wars among the team members.

The Fictional Fear syndrome

The human race is the most fearful of all species that inhabit the planet Earth. Nevertheless, fear when transferred to organisations is not in itself an obstacle for the leader. The problem arises when a fear that does not exist is created. The "Fictional Fear syndrome" can be seen when that distressing disturbance dictates the actions and responses of the leader to the point of destroying the leadership and including the professional effectiveness.

The Evil of "Alice in Wonderland"

Incoherency is a very destabilizing evil for the leader, and especially for those who follow him. It creates distrust, it prevents people from committing to projects and it causes image obsession. These "Alices" are so concerned about their image that they try to hide any sign of weakness, which causes them to foster indiscriminate behaviour and lacking coherency.

The evil of an ego or the Emperor's New Clothes

When the "Me" and the career of this "Me" entity becomes the top priority of the executive above the attention owed to others and including overtaking the objectives of the company, the victim suffers the effects of the evil of an ego. The ego, which might seem a virtue in gaining personal security and in climbing the corporate ladder, gradually becomes a burden which will make it impossible for the executive to advance in his / her professional career. The obsession with image is one of the first signs indicating that the executive has fallen into the arms of this "managerial sin."

The Evil of the Matrix or Communication from the leader

One of the 7 capital sins of the leaders of the twenty-first century is closely related to communication. Paradoxically, the greater the advancement in technology and the facilitating of communication, the poorer the quality of communication of the leaders to their team. Drawing a parallel with the Matrix, the author identifies some of the symptoms of the evil of the Matrix in organisations, such as the obsession with being connected, the need to record everything or the profusion of rumours. Communication continues to be an eminently human activity in which the technology is neither good nor bad; it depends on the use others make of it.
