  • Abstract:

    The concept of complacency (leaders' excessive satisfaction with business performance) and its effects on the willingness to make strategic changes, even when actual results are not favourable. Factors such as functional diversity decrease complacency, while seniority increases it. Encouraging diverse teams, challenging satisfaction with current performance and encouraging leaders to remain open to change are recommended to drive organisational adaptability.
