This is the most common mistake that many organizations make. They acknowledge that organizational development is critically important, but there are more urgent things that demand their attention. The urgent will always take priority over the important until you decide that the important is too important to put off any longer. In fact, many of the urgent things are driven by not having addressed the important things. Stop looking for the “quick-fix” and commit to the hard work of good organizational development in aligning the roles of the board and the executive team.
