Reseña del libro "The High Functioning Addict (en Inglés)"
The most dangerous organisation is the one that looks unstoppable. A healthy organisation and an addicted one look identical from the outside. Both grow. Both hit their metrics. Both stand and applaud themselves at the town hall. The difference never shows up in financials, because the numbers are the last thing to fall. This is a diagnosis, not another book about culture. Organisational Addiction begins the day chasing the reward replaces doing good work. The measure becomes the mission. The behaviours that built the success are replaced with behaviours that protect reward, long after the reward has gone. Darran Ling spent twenty years inside the FTSE 100 and the Fortune 500, in operations and transformation roles where the damage shows up first. This book names what he saw, and gives you a way to test for it. The Organisational Addiction test is a synthesis of nine behavioural markers, each one grounded in established research. Together they give a tangible way to assess organisational performance beyond the headline financials. What is inside - Nine markers that expose the addiction while the results still look excellent.- A full scored test you can run on any organisation you know, from a single department to the whole enterprise.- A worked example, scored end to end, so you watch the diagnosis being made.- Six organisational states, including the high functioning addict.- What recovery actually costs, why so few organisations manage it, and why reinvention is usually how the addiction survives. Who it is for Both leaders and frontline staff who can feel something is wrong and cannot name it. Boards, investors and regulators who need a read that arrives before the numbers do. Strategy, consulting, transformation and operating model professionals who keep being asked to fix the symptom not the root cause. Whether you sit on the board or the front line you will recognise the dance, the masks and the silences. And you will never read a glowing set of results the same way again.
