And finally, sometimes the best practice is no practice. In heavily bureaucratic systems, often the smartest thing you can do is remove obstacles. That might mean eliminating a policy, a layer, a meeting, a budget, or a project to see how the culture responds.

Strip the system down to a few simple rules with a healthy boundary, and you’ll be amazed at what emerges (often exactly what is needed).
