Every new manager believes that the only way to show impact is to “start from scratch”. Most of the time they just repeat old mistakes but because they are surrounded by their newly minted hires, no one is there to tell them we tried this 15 years ago and arrived at the same conclusion so you might want to do this and that. This is so painful to watch at times. Forcing out experienced hires to make space for “cheaper” brand new hires only to relish old mistakes and call it new learnings. Not sure if business continuity is any better at Exxon, Shell, and others. And by the way those old mistakes can be very costly.
