Closed systems, such as unions, professional associations, tenured educational systems, health care delivery services, government agencies, large corporations, print media, television, civil service administrations, country clubs and town governments, lose the focus of their original mandates over time. Maintenance of the status quo and their respective positions in that status quo become the focus of their attention. Systemic mediocrity closes in quickly and another well-intentioned institution becomes ineffective.
Persons within these closed systems often have climbed the same career ladders and have absorbed the same values, assumptions and expectations as their colleagues. They encourage their friends to join the good fight, place them in nomination for elected positions
