Now that sounds outright weird.
Yes – Your side of the aircraft is intact.Β Irrespective, itβs time to grab yourself and rush out of the aircraft.
The aircraft has crashed & the flight is over.
The End. La Fin. Das Ende.
I sometimes hear people saying that same weird statement in an official setting in different ways.
βMy business unit is doing very well. Itβs that βotherβ department that isnβt pulling enough weight and producing results.β
That very familiar βWe are OK; they are NOT OKβ rhetoric!
Havenβt you heard those allegations from the Pre-Sales team about the Sales team that the sales opportunities arenβt well qualified?
The Sales team stacking claims against the Marketing team about the lack of demand generation efforts to produce good leads?
The Purchase team blaming the Finance team for not releasing the money on time.
And the list can be frustratingly longΒ in some companies.
Not realizing that if the “aircraft crash lands,β the flight is over for ππ―ππ«π²π¨π§π.
If the company doesnβt grow and produce profits sustainably, its curtains down for every department, irrespective of the inflated claims that one makes about the stellar performance of their own function.
While there could be many reasons why people donβt take ownership of the collective failure of a companyβs lack of performance, one of the main reasons is that the various silos within companies are ππππππππππππ with each other.
There is less or misalignment to a common purpose. There is a lack of shared goals & objectives between functions. Incentives are not designed for collective success. Rewards & recognitions are not awarded for team achievements.

That is our manifesto.
That is the core aspect of every client engagement at ππππ πππ«π―π’πππ¬.

ps: I sincerely pray that there are no aircraft crashes & hope no one gets grievously injured. The analogy has been used only to illustrate the idea.
