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.
