How do we build for the future?

What is planned abandonment? Don’t hide your failures or short comings –fix them. Article 2- Knight 9262 renewal series

"Management guru Peter Drucker advocates a practice he calls planned abandonment. He stresses how important it is that managers develop the wisdom and courage to regularly review what the organization is doing and determine whether it's worth doing. He urges executives to note and resist the systemic and emotional forces that make it difficult to abandon activities that drain resources, detract from central goals, or otherwise impede progress."

This same principle needs to be applied, not only in the business world, but also to many areas of life. Some of us, for example, who are codependent need to come to our senses and abandon our neurotic need to rescue an addict from the natural consequences of his/her self-destructive behavior.

Sadly, some so-called Christian churches, public institutions that teach a toxic type of religiosity or agenda-ism , that controls people and keeps them in the bondage of legalism, intellectual poverty and fear also need to be abandoned.

The bottom line is the same for any organization. If it is broken fix it by abandoning activities that drain or waste resources, detract from central goals or objectives, or otherwise impede progress and the organization’s purpose.
