What is the "We arrived syndrome"?

Agree with Mr. Jose Miguel

TARGETS ACHIEVED BUT COMPANY MANAGEMENT IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS.

It is when you think that you already know all there is to know about some subject and that turns off or tunes out your ability to receive inspiration, leading you to stop growing/learning

Syndrome is a sickness case express the defect in strategic plan where there is no opportunities for improvement then, the company stop thinking and claims that we arrived, it is fake arrival they achieved an objective but there are more and more to compete, otherwise company will regret and easy competed down gradiing soon.

In shot, what I have learned till yet is, We Arrieved Syndrome is a kind of strange circumstance in which it is seem that goals have been acheived but they are in deemed state.

Allow me to elaborate and simplify the meaning

When you put forward an ambitious goal ahead of you (say BHAG for the sake of argument)  that represents the ultimate of your thoughts and your optimistic thinking, and you eventually get there,  it would look like the end of the journey to most people .... i.e.   we have arrived !!Among the popular examples of this is the NASA program after they landed the first man on the moon and returned him safely to earth ... which was the BHAG  of the sixties articulated by John F Kennedy .

Now that NASA has done that and repeated it over and over again ... now what ??This is exactly the situation when an organization puts forward BHAG as its ultimate destination of the journey and it turns out to be not BHAG enough ... and the organization FAILS to come with another BHAG with similar appeal and charm  ...  leading to some feeling of emptiness,   lack of purpose,  false self satisfaction ...  

Harvard business review (HBR) defines the "We arrived syndrome" as  ...

" Complacement lethargy that arises once an organization has achieved one BHAG and fails to replace it with another"

Apart from the strong and strange words in the beginning of this statement (We are not native English speakers anyway),  the meaning of the statement is more  or less what I explained above. 

When we imagine finish lines where there are none, we fall prey to something is called arrival syndrome.

Signs of Arrival Syndrome

You believe you have "arrived" (with accompanying trumpets).

You coast and fool yourself into believing that's all you have to do.

You stop doing the things that got you where you are.

You do significantly less of the things that got you where you are.

You slip backwards, losing the ground you have gained.

You deny it when other people notice you are slipping back.

The We’ve Arrived Syndrome is a complacent lethargy that arises once an organization has achieved one BHAG and fails to replace it with another.

NASA suffered from that syndrome after the successful moon landings. After you’ve landed on the moon, what do you do for an encore? Ford suffered from the syndrome when, after it succeeded in democratizing the automobile, it failed to set a new goal of equal significance and gave General Motors the opportunity to jump ahead in the1930s. Apple Computer suffered from the syndrome after achieving the goal of creating a computer that non-techies could use. Start-up companies frequently suffer from the We’ve Arrived Syndrome after going public or after reaching a stage in which survival no longer seems in question.
