In life, 60% of our thinking patterns are habitualized.
Organization is the same, 60% of the behavior in the team is habitualized and programmed. This overall default way of thinking, we call it the organizational mind. In general, it can improve decision making efficiency and reduce communication costs.
However, once it enters a period of great change, it becomes the biggest obstacle, making the entire team blind, slow, and overwhelmed. So how do you solve this problem?
We dissect an organization and look at its two dimensions. In the first dimension, the leader is able to see clearly and far from the industry and have a sufficient understanding of the business laws of the industry. Another dimension is to see if the organization itself is willing to accept change.
Based on these two dimensions, you can get four quadrants:
The leadership is visible and the organization is willing to change. It is naturally a model organization. Standing opposite it, it is called dead mixed tissue.
Organizations are willing to change, but leaders are not necessarily visible to new things. Such organizations are called cognitively obscured organizations.
At the end there is an organization whose leadership may be visible, but the organization is not willing to change because it is too comfortable. This kind of organization is called value network dependent organization.
Among them, what harm does cognitive obscuration bring to the company, and how should it be cracked?

The fate of the rhinoceros is an excellent metaphor for cognitively obscured organizations. Let’s start with a case.
