Management consultants call it the 'boiled frog syndrome'. As the story goes, if you place a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will immediately try to jump out. But, if you place the frog in a pot of room-temperature water and slowly turn up the heat, the frog won't do anything at all. It may even appear to be enjoying itself, oblivious of the impending danger.
As the temperature climbs, however, the frog gets sleepy and eventually cannot hop out of the pot.
Too many companies, it seems, are suffering from this 'boiled frog syndrome' these days. What's worse is that most of them have failed to learn from their mistakes in the past.
Consider the dot-com boom-bust. Bloated dotcom companies failed to notice shrinking markets; in fact, there are countless examples of companies diversifying into dotcom at the fag end of the boom cycle, only to be severely burnt at the end of the day.
So let's return to the intrepid frog. Why didn't it jump out? After all, there was nothing between it and its freedom. Assuming that the frog didn't have any ulterior motive in staying put (such as making money at the expense of the workers and investors), it didn't jump out because its threat-sensing ability was triggered by sudden changes, not slow, gradual ones. The incremental change in the water temperature wasn't great enough for it to jump out; rather it took comfort in the rising warmth of the water until it got cooked and died later.
The latest slowdown has shown that too many companies across the world are insensitive to changing environment. Don't rest on past laurels; you have to re-engineer yourself constantly by acquiring new skills.
Coming back to companies, there are valuable lessons to learn from all over the world of leaders who have beaten the 'boiled frog syndrome' by staying out of the comfort zone and pushing performance boundaries to the limit.
