The trouble with the old boy's club

The trouble with the old boy’s club, is well, the old boy practices of exclusion, the blatant favoritism, nepotism and cronyism.

This is so much more than a lack of process, this is the basic denial of opportunity to talented individuals who refuse to engage the outdated and unethical practices of the old boys. What this produces is a sub-standard product, inhibits team performance that hinders business growth - a favorite strategy of government organisations.

This is a government dilemma, service isn't an issue in the old boy’s club, governments need to offer a customer centric service but this doesn't fit their narrative. This starts with recruiting, selecting and employing the best candidate for the job.

Talent management is a major organisational development requirement, the acquisition of high-level talent is the defining requirement for organisations. That's what makes me laugh, government organisations that deny economic gravity, the taxpayer funds roll in and the cycle continues.
