The less-discussed issue is the high rate of turnover with respect to corporate roles. There are significant incentives that push new leaders to "remove the fences" rather than spend the time (money) and energy (capital) to determine why the fence was there in the first place.

Often, new leaders replace old frustrations, and concluding that the previous regime had some wisdom of its own is received like a lead balloon.

Chesterton was right, but probably did not consider corporate politics :-)
