>practical ways to do that at scale. I know what you mean, the "HP Way" worked at scaling to the max but once Hewlett & Packard were no longer around it faded too. Or crumbled or shattered, whichever way you want to look at it. Maybe the "following generation" needs to actually work not only smarter but at least as hard as the founding generation. And maybe that's less likely the more of the upside that's realized, things can get cushy and no-one may be able to focus on that kind of thing any more, especially after lots of time has obscured how much work it was to get big. At least that's one thing I learned in the yachting community.
