I have been ordered to stop talking to people at national headquarters ...

Sorry, but I am not seeing where the original poster actually said this.  What reply or thread is this in?

Thanks,

That quote is from a two year old post, under a different screen name. Here. This is provided for enlightenment, and not necessarily as a topic for further commentary. That train left the rails months ago.

Those guys at NHQ (paid and volunteer staff) don't make changes just because "they have the power".
The organization has been there and done that.....and we try to avoid that sort of thing.

^^Perzactly^^ (as one of my kids used to say)

Top-down change rarely works in an established organizational culture.

Bottom up change does work.  Small incremental changes at a squadron get noticed at the group and spread out, then Wing notices them, Region, etc.

By the time it hits NHQ it has a strong record of being a positive change, and most of the kinks have been worked out along the way.

A charismatic leader who tries to impose change from the top generally gets hammered into the ground by organizational inertia.
