Organizational inertia is the tendency for a mature organization to become complacent, rigid, and even become resistant to change. In other words, they get trapped in traditional operational patterns and status quo becomes the standard by which we measure success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every company experiences organizational inertia to a certain degree over the lifecycle of their business. Likewise, inertia will ebb and flow. Sometimes it\u2019s high and other times it\u2019s low. When organizational inertia is high, productivity suffers. Given the persistent speed of business, we can appreciate that when productivity suffers, companies struggle to maintain the competitive advantage, and even tenured organizations can fall short.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;2425&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=&#8221;h3&#8243; style=&#8221;hinge-drop&#8221; color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; text=&#8221;When organizational inertia is high, you may witness:&#8221;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"dot\" data-animation=\"true\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-spacing=\"15px\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High performing and otherwise engaged employees zone out during meetings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An outpouring of pushback when new policies or procedures are introduced.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A surge of missed opportunities due to a lack of employee initiative.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A decline in customer satisfaction ratings because employees no longer want to go the extra mile.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A general reduction in innovative thought and engaging feedback throughout the workforce.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[nectar_animated_title heading_tag=&#8221;h3&#8243; style=&#8221;hinge-drop&#8221; color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; text=&#8221;In contrast, when it\u2019s low, you may witness:&#8221;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"dot\" data-animation=\"true\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-spacing=\"15px\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An increase in individual initiative &amp; personal accountability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional flexibility and openness to change across the enterprise.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calculated risk-taking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaboration with minimal conflict.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced absenteeism.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An influx of feedback requests.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;4%&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now more than ever, leaders have to find ways to create heat, innovate on the pivot, disrupt the market, and stay one step ahead of the competition.

When left unchecked boredom can cause an inability to focus, a lack of interest, process inefficiencies, and a sense of emptiness. All of which may lead to frustration, anger, and even depression. These effects create significant emotional barriers that fundamentally foster high organizational inertia. However, when consistently monitored and appropriately managed, boredom can serve as a catalyst for change, improved goal setting, and goal accomplishment, spark creativity, and help us get comfortable with the uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;2424&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;4 techniques to combat boredom and mitigate organizational inertia&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23414835&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1595265669427{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"icon-salient-thin-line\" data-animation=\"false\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<ul>\n<li><b>Show gratitude<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Say thank you often and recognize efforts even when things go wrong.
