Have you ever played Whack-A-Mole? You know, the one where you use a padded hammer to knock a mole on the head each time it pops up. Well, the moles don’t stay up for very long. And, as the game progresses, more and more moles pop up simultaneously, on all sides of the grid. Faster and faster, as you try to beat the stuffing out of them before time runs out!
Then you look around at some of the other players… the ones who are choosing which moles to knock down rather than trying to hit them all. And you start to wonder if they have a better game plan or a higher success rate.
If Whack-A-Mole makes you think of how you run your business, you’re not wrong. Having to move quickly to knock daily problems on the head, often without any time to really think things through, does feel a LOT like Whack-A-Mole.
