What are the dyfunctional consequences of organizational decline stage?

During the organizational decline stage, dysfunction can manifest through reduced employee morale, increased disengagement, and heightened resistance to change. Communication breakdowns often occur, leading to confusion and a lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities. Additionally, decision-making may become slower and more bureaucratic, as fear of failure prevails, stifling innovation and adaptability. Ultimately, these dysfunctions can exacerbate the decline, creating a cycle that is difficult to break.
