      Power within a company is similar to a plant or pet you raise for many years. The importance and influence over your life is specific to your relationship with the thing, not intrinsic to the thing itself. No one else cares about your plant.

      If anyone drops into a company directly to positions of power it’s because of their relationship to the existing power network.

      That’s why executives tend to be “purged” under new leadership. It’s expected. Real change happens only when the networks of power are fully transitioned to something new.

      A network has to be critically damaged, otherwise it self heals, growing and rejecting for its own purposes.

      Switching a CEO or leadership team is the equivalent of chemotherapy. You inject a cocktail of dangerous drugs to beat some sense into the body. Hopefully without killing it.

      It’s very difficult to actually get into networks of power. Established networks can serve or be served just like you can buy and sell pets and plants.

      But unless you “grow up together” you don’t have a real relationship. At most you’re on retainer for a long term contract.

      Serving such networks can be appealing and prolific. You can even get famous serving them like John Wick. You never “belong”. You eventually desire to “get out.”

      Many people don’t get powerful because they don’t understand that rootedness is the sacrifice the seed makes in order to grow.

          They see the powerful and wealthy flitting around doing anything they want but don’t see the underground root structure connecting everything.

          The rich and wealthy can’t vlog in somalia for example. There are limitations to their freedom because they are bound by the network.

          But because we don’t see the invisible structure we mistake a powerful network for lack of a network and mimic it. By choosing freedom over responsibility we never grow.

          Or if we do see it we try and take a shortcut and attach ourselves to the existing network thinking we’ve discovered some secret. (Either symbiotically or parasitically)

          Summing up: Millenials complaining that rich old people have all the money and power is very much related to their inability to build large networks due to broken relationships at a personal level.

          Why said relationships are brittle and difficult to build in our modern age is another story.
