The role changes hands. A new leader arrives.
Experience. Energy. A different approach.
And for a while, things move.
Then the same pressures start to appear.
Decisions slow down.
Work begins to duplicate.
Priorities pull in different directions.
Load concentrates around the same few people.

The seat starts to shape the behaviour.
The pattern reappears.
The ones who change the pattern look past the person.
They read the system.
