Success as inertia: the cost of surviving too long
A business's long life is taken as a sign of quality. But age does not prove vitality. Sometimes it merely conceals inertia.
Sometimes the winner is not the pioneer, but the last one left in the field. The question is whether the accumulated past improves the next decision or blindly predetermines it. And whether the company will stop if the founder takes a step back.
The winner is the one with the courage to free themselves from their own past often enough to have a place in the future.
