Ben Werdmuller has a brilliant analogy describing why adding people to a team doesn’t always solve the problem. I wish this worked with more corporate people than I know it would.
Hiring more people when a team is struggling is often like trying to untangle a knot by adding more hands: without clear roles, it only gets messier.
“How many more people do you need?” is a question that I get way more frequently than what I am proud of.
