Hey, I appreciate this response. It's easy to become jaded. I'm often jaded too, and it takes everything I can muster to keep trying to improve things. Some days it's all I can do just to do my job and shut up the systems thinking part of my brain that wants to look outside it. There are a lot of great ideas out there. What matters is what we do. Good luck, I wish you the best as well. For what it's worth, this stuff is really great, and a good mental model for the reality of organizations. I highly recommend Peter Scholtes' book, The Leader's Handbook.
