I’d strongly agree with Drucker, both here and generally. The issue I have is that EA culture already has strong values and norms, ones that don’t necessarily need to be shaped in the same ways because they are already strong in many ways—though careful thought is certainly important. And a very important but unusual concern is that without care, the founder effects, culture, norms and values can easily erode when organizations, or the ecosystem as a whole, grows.
