DW: Impressive, but why is only one business unit of Dow Corning using
TOC? What bothers me is that this person is talking about a span of
over five years. If it worked so well, why didn’t it spread to the other
business units? Is it the Not-Invented-Here (NIH) syndrome?
EG: Before we dive into speculation about psychology of organizations, let’s
examine the facts. We are talking about a middle manager who works in one
corner of a large company. Why should we be surprised that, in five years,
this person was not yet able to take his whole company through a major
paradigm shift? And, by the way, as you read in his letter, he is making nice
progress; he has already moved into a much more influential position.
