Amen. Roy Tennant’s post on Individuals Innovate, Not Institutions is right on. He says,
It can be very difficult to be innovative at a large institution where there may be many people involved in decision-making and resource allocation decisions. And although there may be more resources to be had, the nature of the responsibility is similarly sized, which encourages conservative decisions.
I certainly feel that having a smaller POW has helped me get more useful and varied experience, and has opened the door to all kinds of creativity that I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to explore in other, more hierarchical organizations.
