The open expression of true feelings is absent. The search for cause of the problem is personalized. People look for direction on how to act or react. Friendship between professional colleagues is lacking. Complex procedures are initiated by memorandum.
Meeting have long agendas and end up going in circles.
Inconsistent applications of procedures are not meetings. Mundane announcements are given more time at status 15. Promises of better times ahead seduce people into a quo. Perfectionism creates an atmosphere of intolerance mistakes. Judgments are made about people and things as being either good or bad.
