Business/Commerce (general)
Vocabulary
O desafio mais difícil, tanto em termos empresariais como pessoais é “catracar” as melhorias, evitando o fenômeno “dente de serra”, melhorando e piorando, melhorando e piorando.
Para fugir desta armadilha precisamos conhecer e adotar as posturas gerenciais adequadas, padronizando processos, educando e treinando as pessoas. Admitir os erros e assim aprender com eles é uma importante fonte de melhoria e progresso quem se considera incapaz de falhar já não progride, não sente motivação para o esforço.

: yes, I think this is a much more familiar turn of phrase. We also use seesawing and roller coasters as metaphors in business cycles.

: I'm not sure your references are relevant to a business context. I've not heard the use of sawtooth as a metaphor in English for this business phenomenon.

The company avoids the "see-saw" performance effects of highs and lows.
I thought "see-saw"eefect was a slightly better option here but I go with the flow on the chosen answer!
