Stability Boss.

The essential rhythm in organisations is, therefore, an alternation of long periods of stability with very short periods of crisis and change. - Michael Crozier, ‘The Bureaucratic Phenomenon’

Organisations appoint bosses based on the skills needed to boss for the long periods of stability.

Stability bosses are not equipped to do more than muddle through the very short periods of crisis and change.

The longer the stability boss remains, the more frequent the periods of crisis.

Until crisis becomes the norm.
