In my experience the quip about the "train not swerving off the tracks so far" is mainly just because of the momentum we had from years of working closely together in the office. The longer it goes on, the further my group/department/org fall apart. Communication isn't as good, the new hires aren't trained well and aren't integrated with the team well, a percentage of the employees are obviously just slacking off and not getting much work done, etc. Yes you could argue that those things could be fixed/improved but the reality of the situation is that they're real problems that we're really facing. From what I can see of my situation, it isn't sustainable in my org for much longer.
