Misaligned Growth.
This short entry is forthcoming.
The company you actually built has slowly diverged from the company you set out to build. Last of the six recurring patterns, usually noticed last.
Misaligned growth is the pattern most leaders see only after it has run for a while. The revenue grew. The team grew. The product grew. What did not grow — or what grew in a different direction — is the alignment between the work and the original strategic intent. The full entry will publish here when ready. Until then, the umbrella pillar names the pattern in context with the other five.
