Adhipathy

In our day-to-day operations, are we differentiating between symptom and cause?
 Actually, no.  We are detecting symptom of something wrong and fix them.  That gives a temporary relief.  But, will that be sufficient for long run? Certainly no.  So, when we taking any actions for correction, we should give more importance to identify the cause & correct it entirely rather than correcting for then.
 
Are we (executives of a company) tracking ourselves day-to-day with the growth of the industry and world?
 This varies from person to person.  But, majority of people are lagging in this.  Nobody cares much about their personal career growth from time to time.  They are measuring only about the monetary change and not about the knowledge growth.
 
Are we comparing our products/services with our competitors on regular basis and find the problems in our model?
 Only on managing the company, these things are considered.  But actually this has to be done at all levels.  When a particular method is successful in a similar company, some consideration should be given at ALL Levels of the company.
 
What were considered with time while taking decisions?
 Did the company decide,
  1.  When to do something?
  2.  How long to allow something to happen?
  3.  What is the best sequence of moves?
