10.Overcome the Complexity Within You
Although it doesn't show up clearly in any personality test,some people seem to be likely to create complexity.Instead of cutting to the heart of an issue and narrowing down projects,they allow the scope to keep expanding; and instead of making decisions,they always wait for more data and better analysis.
People of"complexifiers"are characterized with these behaviors,always leaving complexity in their wake and making it more difficult for colleagues,customers,and even family members to get things done.Here's a brief example:
Due to changing market conditions,a billion-dollar consumer products company was starting to see decline in market share and profitability.To turn things around,an industry expert named Phillip was brought in as a new general manager.
Phillip turned out to be a classic complexifier.At every meeting he asked for extra data and scolded his people for not knowing the answers to every detailed question he could think of.And although he was dissatisfied with some members,he kept telling HR that he wanted more time to evaluate them,so no changes were made.Eventually he reorganized the unit into a team that most of his people didn't fully understand him.The result was that market share and profitability continued to decline.
Obviously Phillip represents an extreme example of a complexifier.But all of us fall into this category from time to time.If you want to learn how to think more like a"simplifier,"here are four questions that you can ask yourself and/or discuss with your team:
How much data is enough?Complexifiers always want more information,with the hope that the next bit or byte will answer all questions and hold the key to success.Simplifiers understand that there will never be complete data and that it's necessary to create hypotheses (假设) and action plans based on an intuitive sense of how much is enough.
Have we agreed on the key issues?Rather than get locked in to a few things,complexifiers ask their people to keep multiple balls in the air.Simplifiers on the other hand narrow the focus to a few key things and give their people permission to stop doing things that don't make the cut.
Do we have an efficient process for rapid review and course correction?Complexifiers like to spend their time in long meetings,sorting through reports and analyses.Simplifiers have focused reviews of the key priorities and hold people accountable for their commitments and results.They also learn as they go,continually testing their hypotheses about what should be done against the reality of what's working and what is not.This allows them to shift course whenever necessary.
Can we explain our plan to others?Complexifiers have a hard time communicating their plans to colleagues and customers,relying on intricate (复杂的) charts and diagrams rather than simple,straightforward messages.Simplifiers tell stories that can get across the situation,the goals,and the plans-in a way that helps people understand what they need to do and how their work fits with everything else.
Some people are naturals at simplification.But for the rest of us,asking these questions can help keep us honest about whether we are avoiding complexity,or creating it.
