Chain-Link Systems - Deepstash

Chain-Link Systems

Systems have a chain-link logic when performance is limited by the weakest subunit or link.

Improving a single link does not improve the results of the system as a whole unless the weakest link is improved

Merely creating more pressure for higher profits wouldn’t solve the problem because multiple areas under the control of different teams each need to be improved before the results show up in increased profits

A sequential strategy works best in which leaders take responsibility for the final results and focus on one link at a time.
