Risks of Mandating

Mandating: where a single, poorly thought-out policy can create a ripple effect of chaos throughout the entire organization.

The Risks of Mandating are many, but here are a few:

• Inflation Risk: The more you mandate, the less people will actually do.

• Absurdities of Mandatory Compliance: The more you mandate, the more absurd the compliance process becomes.

• Implementation Risk: The harder it is to implement, the more it will be resisted.

• Dependency Risk: The more you mandate, the more dependent on it everyone becomes.

• Communication Risk: The more you mandate, the more miscommunication occurs.
