That's Not How We Do It Here! by John P. Kotter

A Story about How Organizations Learn

A fable about a tightly run community where a curious young member suggests useful new ideas but is met with reflexive resistance from elders and established routines; through setbacks and small experiments the story illustrates how entrenched culture and defensive leadership stifle innovation, and it offers an accessible lesson about the importance of cultivating openness, empowering people to try new approaches, and building the conditions that let organizations adapt and thrive rather than be overtaken by change.
