W. Edwards Deming, a forward-thinking American who helped engineer the Japanese economic miracle and put forward the continuous quality improvement philosophy, wrote that 94% of issues in the workplace are systemic, while only 6% are attributable to individual-level, idiosyncratic factors. Therefore, improvements should mainly focus on systems—not individuals. However, progress is often not as fast as we'd like it to be. Just take a look at the social media meme magazine 'Humorous Resources.' Spanning across different platforms, it shares all the annoying problems that everyone who has been a part of the workforce knows all too well.
