Respecting or cultivating tradition does not mean to be carrying ashes. It means to continue taking the flame forward!
All organizations are created to solve a problem that a group of people could not solve by acting in an isolated manner.
However, changes in the environment, changes in command and financial pressures may cause this focus to be lost with the passage of time.
Clubs start living on the income coming from the rental of their facilities, or change course in trying to meet their current members' demands - and end up losing their soul.
Business associations end up losing their meaning entirely due to the evolution in their founders' businesses.
There are companies built to explore a mine that is gradually extinguished, or a technology that becomes obsolete.
When the mission ends or is abandoned, an almost obvious option is to rebuild the organization.
Rebuilding means to reunite what is left from the time of the entrepreneurs and presenting the crucial question: considering the current conditions, would it be wise for us to gather and create an organization like the one we have?
Is it worth to continue carrying these ashes, or do we have the strength to continue taking a flame forward?
