I like to call it the itty bitty shitty committee. That itty bitty committee is what cranks up when you’re triggered by something that annoys you, makes you angry or hurts your feelings. As you get more and more focused on what the committee is ranting about, you become less and less focused on the things you’ve done or could do that actually make a difference. You might actually say, “There’s my itty bitty shitty committee again.”

Today, it’s your job to draft an important document. It might be some copy for your Web site, a white paper for clients, or an internal policy document. Whatever it is, it’s important enough that you’re going to spend weeks on it. Here’s the problem: documents like this go through review processes.

The so-called "super committee" — the special team of twelve U.S. So if the supercommitee's goal was so compelling, why did the committee fail? That fact was in plain sight with the super committee. The incentives in politics are perversely skewed — perhaps super committee members feared supporters would drive them out of office if they dared compromise. Perhaps real collaboration was an intractable problem in the super committee in Washington.

This post was first published in SmartBlog on Leadership on 11/29/2012: Have you ever noticed that committees or management teams tend to spend way too much time in meetings endlessly debating the most unimportant or mundane topics, while at the same time, not enough time on the most important or strategic issues? As a result the item receives very little discussion, and the committee ‘trusts’ the experts.
