No one likes opening bills. Especially not when they remind you of the credit card payment you either forgot or couldn't afford to make the month before. Now you're hit with an insulting interest rate on top of your balance, plus penalty charges. The interest rate amounts to highway robbery, you think, and what's worse is that everything compounds. You wish you’d never opened up the account in the first place.

Over the past decade, we’ve studied the impact of a wide range of management practices on different dimensions of organizational health.1 This analysis, based on surveys of more than two million respondents at over 1,000 companies, has become a stable baseline for understanding the incremental contributions of specific organizational and leadership characteristics to the health, positive and negative, of the companies in our sample.

We’ve long inquired into the processes and structures that reinforce organizational stability. But from November 2013 to October 2014, we added questions, for the first time, on speed and flexibility. Our goal was to discover how often leaders and managers moved quickly when challenged and how rapidly organizations adjusted to changes and to new ways of doing things.
