The reason for many business failures is traceable to the person at the “top.”

In my company, I blame myself whenever there’s a big problem. It’s all on me. Recently, we saw an increase in shipping issues — we ship commercial aircraft parts (engines, avionics, oh my) worldwide. This is a high-risk problem, as the parts aren’t cheap, and neither are the shipping costs.

The problem fell on me, no matter who or what the problem could be attributed to. It’s a core function of our business, and I must ensure its systems and people are optimized for peak performance.

I let this pillar’s standards become complacent (see question number 4).

You, too, might unknowingly be causing a business bottleneck. Even the best of us can choke up the engine without realizing it.
