useless meetings and emails	Reducing and eliminating meetings
inadequate technology	frequent equipment and software upgrades
disorganized or incompetent C-suites	C-suite leadership that emphasizes both the importance of not wasting time
unclear decision-making authority	clear decision-making guidelines
