reorganizing

I haven't mentioned New Year's resolutions for a while (yes, I'm still trying to keep mine). Often we think that change by itself will bring positive results. NOT! I've observed this with my clients in the education field; I've seen it in churches; I've seen it in my own life. The following quote summarizes it all very well:
We trained hard...but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized....I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization.

-- Petronius Arbiter, 210 B.C.
