Usually for things to change from the way “it’s always been” requires a change at the top level and not the bottom. Adding new talent at the bottom doesn’t work since the ones at the top are protecting their “turf”. And, too much promotion from within makes it more challenging for progressive change to take place or new ideas to be considered. Change is hard to make work and takes solid leadership at the top to make it happen.
