A survey conducted for theby João Kepler, for the book "The Business Blind Spot", brought to light revealing data about the invisible barriers that affectmanagement and business growthin the country. The study points out that35% of Brazilian entrepreneursadmit to neglectingthe adoption of new technologiesand the innovation, even in a market where digital transformation is essential for competitiveness. "It is an alarming fact", especially in a rapidly changing scenario where technology is the main driver of growth, evaluate Kepler
Another worrying fact concerns thepeople management:28% of managers say they face difficultiesin open communication and in creating a feedback culture. According to Kepler, these limitations are among the biggest internal challenges for companies. The research also revealed that, for 31% of respondents, the organizational culture restricts honest feedback, while 27% stated that internal processes are carried out without questioning, what indicates a resistance to continuous improvement. It is also concerning that 19% of entrepreneurs cannot identify these moments of organizational blindness. "The lack of honest feedback in strategic meetings creates a harmful silence environment", where recurring errors go uncorrected and the potential for growth is compromised, explain Kepler
Furthermore, 40% of entrepreneursthey report that they make strategic decisions based on incomplete information or assumptions, what can result in financial losses and compromise competitiveness. Others25% they stated that, despite having sufficient data, they feel that a superficial analysis minimizes the impact of decisions until the problems become critical. These numbers indicate that many leaders are not leveraging the potential of available data for more accurate fundamental decisions
For Kepler, these numbers reinforce the need for entrepreneurs to take a closer look at their own practices and recognize the blind spots that may be sabotaging the success of their companies
