I'm an old fart and I embrace new ideas assuming they have been well thought through, allowed for documented feedback from old stodgy curmudgeons like me and are not putting the company, customers or investors at risk. That said I can understand why you are saying that. Some organizations do permit people with high tenure to paralyze a companies innovation and I do not know how to fix that short of creating competition and importing the good employees at the new competition.
