No highly visible crisis. The company is not losing money; no big layoffs are threatened.
The company measures itself against low standards.
The company compares itself to the industry average, not to the industry leader.

Complacency causes and symptoms

Performance feedback is strictly internal. The culture dictates that external feedback is either without value or likely to be uninformed.
Evidence that change is needed results in finger-pointing.
"It's just the cheap imports."
Management focuses on marginal issues. "The slip is sinking. Let's rearrange the deck chairs."
The culture sends subliminal messages of success.
Plush offices, wood paneling, and in art adorn corporate offices.
Happy Talk -- Management believes its own press releases and mythology.
"We are the greatest ad agency in the country. We set the standard for our industry. Manufacturing is back in the U.S."

“At 2-Year Colleges, Students Eager but Unready”By DIANA JEAN SCHEMO
“Aside from New York City’s higher education system, at least 12 states explicitly bar state universities from providing remedial courses or take other steps like deferred admissions to steer students needing helping toward technical or community colleges.”
