In new findings, growth strategist Eric Galuppo explains why constant firefighting in security operations is not a leadership issue, but the result of fragmented marketing, hiring, and operational systems that prevent predictable growth.

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Growth strategist and practitioner Eric Galuppo has released new analysis explaining why constant firefighting inside security companies is not a management flaw, but a predictable outcome of fragmented system design. His findings show that when marketing, hiring, and operations are misaligned, organizations are forced into reactive decision-making that erodes efficiency and margins.

According to Galuppo, many security firms operate in a perpetual state of urgency—scrambling to fill shifts, resolve schedule gaps, and address operational breakdowns. Leadership often attributes this to labor shortages or frontline performance, but Galuppo's analysis points to a deeper cause.

"Reactive management isn't a leadership style," Galuppo said. "It's a symptom. When systems aren't designed to work together, firefighting becomes inevitable."

Why Firefighting Becomes the Default

Galuppo's findings show that reactive environments emerge when core systems operate independently:
  • Marketing generates uneven or unpredictable demand
  • Hiring struggles to maintain workforce stability
  • Operations absorb volatility through overtime, reshuffling, and supervision

When these systems are disconnected, leadership time shifts from planning to problem-solving. Supervisors fill gaps instead of optimizing performance, and organizations lose the ability to anticipate issues before they escalate.

System Design Shapes Managerial Behavior

Galuppo emphasizes that systems create behavior. In stable environments, managers focus on training, quality, and efficiency. In unstable ones, they focus on coverage, attendance, and immediate problem resolution.

"People manage what the system forces them to manage," he said. "If instability is built into the structure, no amount of effort will eliminate reactivity."

National Labor Trends Amplify the Impact

Public data from the BLS, SHRM, the Work Institute, and the Federal Reserve's Beige Book continues to highlight workforce volatility, early-tenure turnover, and scheduling strain across labor-dependent industries. Galuppo notes that these pressures intensify the consequences of weak system alignment, especially in security operations where reliability is critical.

From Reaction to Predictability

Galuppo's analysis reinforces a consistent theme across his work: predictable growth depends on integrated systems, not individual heroics. When demand generation, workforce stability, and operational efficiency reinforce one another, organizations reduce volatility and regain strategic control.

"Stability isn't created by working harder," Galuppo said. "It's created by designing systems that prevent chaos from forming in the first place."
