Brownian motion ..

I notice two types of inaction in corporate life. Especially when there is huge change ahead of all.
Especially when the future is not clear, and challenging.

And that happens every few years for sure .... !

The first type of inaction is Leaders moving very slow to take decisions. Not sure where to put their money. This batch gets in to a spectator mode - the "wait and watch" mode ! And all become som sedentary, restful, lazy and static - YET very very tense !

And there is a second set of leaders - given the exact such changing environment and uncertainty they will make very fast moves - tall decisions, bold moves - alas ! Only to roll it back the next week. And make another one ! Taken a horizon view, it ends up all being static. Running on a treadmill, and still where you were.

I ve been wondering what could be a scientific term for it - and then I saw a note on "Brownian Motion" in a different context ! That's it. Brownian motion.
