Unpopular truth! Most rules were made to be broken. Not morally, strategically.
This week on our blog, Adv Thabiso Njokwana authors a powerful (must read!!!) institutional critique.
Your church policy, political manifesto, company handbook, family tradition etc were designed for a wall that existed 10, 20, 50 years ago.
But things change. Society shifts. Context changes. Economies shift.
Transitional leadership is not about picking “right vs wrong.” It’s about asking, “Which bricks still fit the wall we are building today?”
Rules and polices are temporal. They get kept, but when they are past their time they must be adapted or discarded.
If leaders ignore that cycle, the institution loses relevance, it breaks, becomes obsolete and extinct.
At the appointed time, real leadership forces a negotiation between the old and the new. Not to destroy the past, but to keep the truth alive.
Because truth is progressive. It begs for alteration with time.
