- Decline is often a gradual process that can surprise leaders; it starts with hubris, where success causes overconfidence and disconnect from reality. In this stage, companies fail to recognize the signs of impending troubles, leading to a lack of proactive measures to address vulnerabilities.
- As firms descend into crisis, they often enter a stage defined by a loss of focus, which may manifest as a diversion into new ventures rather than solidifying core strengths. Successful companies must prioritize their foundational principles and culture to navigate through turbulent times effectively.
- The final stage of decline can lead to an organization's total collapse, often accompanied by denial and a refusal to accept reality. For recovery, companies must acknowledge their weaknesses, embrace strategic humility, and prioritize long-term sustainability over short-term gains.
