[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 76762266, member: 326155"] Yeah, that's happening. There is something called the Iron Law of Bureaucracy, which states that over time, the leadership of any organization will become those who, above all else, work to maintain the existence of the organization. At first that sounds like a bad thing, but it's not a bad thing as long as the rank-and-file members are still effective at the basic mission of the organization. If the organization is still effective in its mission, then the efforts of leadership to preserve the organization is a good thing. There is a problem in the organization when its members forget that they don't have individual missions, but actually have only their own fragment of the organization's mission. It can happen in a military organization when the leader says, "Our mission is to fight the enemy on Beta Hill five miles away." But then one soldier says, "My mission is to kill the enemy, and there is enemy on Alpha Hill only two miles away, so I'm going to Alpha Hill!" and then that soldier complains his leadership does not support him when he takes off for Alpha Hill. Or worse, that soldier gets into fights with other soldiers who don't take off for Alpha Hill with him. [/QUOTE]
