A crisis of red tape can occur in any organization where powerful staff members or staff groups overseeing key internal processes (such as strategic planning and resource allocation) are inclined to design performance management systems that are too complex for the organization. Spans of accountability and influence are very high, but resources are insufficient and misdirected. The demand for resources exceeds supply.
Conclusions
The two of us are committed to constructing bridges between the professions of psychology, primary care, complexity science, and leadership. We believe that the bridge should provide a roadway for effective leadership, a caring health care system, and a “safe” environment for innovation and collaboration. Hopefully, this series of essays produces some of the piers and beams for this bridge.
