It's weird how often technology teams seem to get hung up on broken processes. Whether it's because they were poorly written in the first place, or something changed and they no longer work, there's a refusal to deviate from 'The Process' like its some sort of religious observance. The inability or unwillingness to trust engineers to take appropriate precautions to manage risk or to know how to communicate effectively with the right people feels like a real failure of leadership. If you don't trust your people enough to give them autonomy, and the only way you can ensure the right outcome is to force them down a specific route, should you even be managing people? #organizationalculture #process #leadership #brokenprocesses

❌ People avoid making decisions because doing so exposes them
❌ Compliance and fear replace enthusiasm and passion

📉 Eventually, the organization stagnates.
