firefighting, fighting the fires
When we described what we’d seen, people instantly recognized what we were talking about—indeed, most of them said they fought fires in their own professional lives all the time. Yet with a few exceptions, the fire-fighting syndrome has stayed off the radar screens of organizational theorists.1 It deserves far more attention. In fact, fire fighting is one of the most serious problems facing many managers of complex, change-driven processes.
From our observations, fire fighting is best characterized as a collection of symptoms. You’re a victim if three of the following linked elements are chronic within your business unit or division. - https://hbr.org/2000/07/stop-fighting-fires
----
I believed a lot of managers are 'fighting fires” in their own field - https://managemagazine.com/blogtalk/research-relevance/netwo...
---
This book provides a framework to help managers go beyond simply fighting fires every day, offering the tools to address the underlying causes of recurring problems and deliver long-term solutions. - https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783319638799
------
We also see that many managers who are fighting-fires from month to month rather than managing for the long-run, are typically very aware but are caught in a cycle they find hard to break away from. - https://www.bethebusiness.com/2018/07/productivity-review-re...
