It is not uncommon that a lot of our biggest pain points for ourselves and our companies exist when there is so much chaos in our environment and we are not always sure where it is coming from. We know that chaos can rear its ugly head in many different forms, such as inefficient processes, a lack of trust among employees, or simple changes that are positive for the overall company, but are rarely clearly communicated with everyone.
