The crisis of Red Tape is overcome with strong C-level management, fostering a
participative and inclusive corporate culture; in effect, growth comes from
Collaboration. Often, real-time information systems help alleviate paperwork and

constant corporate struggle between evolution (the growth phases)
and revolution (the crisis phases). As humans were familiar with the concept of
No pain, no gain and, once again, we can see parallels in the business world.
From a leadership viewpoint, evolution explains the mechanisms by which
growth is often achieved (the gain); and, revolution explains the obstacles we
need to overcome (the pain). In understanding this framework, it helps us
understand the right strategies and tactics for each stage, to ensure the growing
pains are minimised and the profit gains are maximised!
