Patches on the Pants

Reading a book on non-profit management and the great Peter Drucker comments on job descriptions. He writes: there comes a point when one has to look at what the job requires and design for that job, rather than saying this is how we have always done it. This is one of those critical decisions. It is one of the crucial tasks of the executive to know when to say “Enough is enough. Let’s stop improving. There are too many patches on those pants.” Taking a look at your organization - are there a lot of patchy pants?
