Q

incongruent organizational systems

A

Rewards, information systems, patterns of
authority, career paths, selection criteria, and other systems and structures are both
friends and foes of organizational change. When properly aligned, they reinforce
desired behaviors. When misaligned, they pull people back into their old attitudes and
behavior. Even enthusiastic employees lose momentum after failing to overcome the
structural confines of the past.

rubber band snaps us back into
our comfort zones.”
