“Eric Ries argues the strongest organizations aren't run by a charismatic leader but by what Mary Parker Follett called the Invisible Leader: a shared mission everyone acts on, including in the room no leader ever enters. Constitutional Governance is how that mission survives succession — written into founding documents, not into anyone's will. I recognize this problem from the other side. States lose Anticipatory Capacity the same way companies lose mission: not from bad leadership, but because the capacity to foresee was never architected to outlive whoever built it. Ries's toolkit is corporate — ownership structures, fiduciary clauses, golden shares. A ministry has no shareholder register to rewrite.” — Fredy Vargas Lama on LinkedIn
