> The Rotating Door of Ownership

It’s this one. And it happens in every industry. Things fall through the cracks because no one wants to take responsibility for covering the cracks. And that’s because it’s generally a thankless job. The company Swiss Army knife / fixer / keeper of institutional knowledge is quietly holding things together while the upwardly mobile types ensure the spotlight stays on them.

Moving fast also shields you from accountability but allowing you to accrue the perceived gains, even if they don't end up existing (again, lack of accountability)
