the paradoxes of organizations

https://medium.com/principles-of-agility/the-paradoxes-of-organization-7e468956ddf8

attractive prison

when you ask for help, you get more work to do

when things start to get better, they seem to get worse

when things start to get worse, they seem to get better

the more you do, the less you can do

the reward for doing good work is more work

tools designed to increase productivity decrease productivity

attempts to increase control decrease control

keeping yourself in business can put you out of business

the more important the decision, the less informed the decision maker will be

attempting to solve a problem can make it worse

the solution to many problems is an opposite problem

the bigger things are harder to see

just because something is true doesn't mean the opposite is not true

everything depends
