The Obvious?

I spotted this paragraph while browsing other blogs... Seemed relevant.

Isn't this what sometimes happens in organisations too? The bigger they get the more they tend to attract people who prefer the safety of following familar, well worn tracks to the hard work of beating a new trail. They all start out with an individual or small group finding a new way and setting out with enthusiasm and conviction but then over time that path gets muddier and muddier with all the feet. Then someone decides to metal the path, then widen it, then we end up with multi-lane highways with us all sitting getting cross at the same traffic light each morning.....
