You story brought fond memories as I worked with this inspiring CEO (Lou Gerstner) during my tenure in IBM. Under his leadership we transitioned the company from a poor to a thriving state. Thank you for using his transformative leadership as an example.
It would only seem logical, that you can’t revive things/products/ideas/companies endlessly. You can’t patch them over and over and expect they will boost your growth. But still, when a decision must be made to sunset, discontinue, pivot so many managers shy away.
Just like a forest is getting darker and wilder when the trees grow old and fall, the same happens to a company that doesn’t allow any destruction and avoid needed changes.
FELICES Y GRACIAS
Muchas gracias!

Many thanks! I studied IBM's case in the business school, and it inspired me to change my company's business model.

Adding, not subtracting, is a cognitive bias and we are all susceptible to it.

Great perspective. You often have to let go to grow.
Often, of even always.
