If you did not like yesterday's analogy, perhaps this one will float your boat ;-)
Governance is like sex.
- People tend to talk about it more than they do it, and...
- ...Most people don't do it as much as they'd like
- At least one key player needs to really want it or it will never get started
- There are many different ways to do it satisfactorily
- It's more art than science
- It's more successful in environments characterized by mutual trust
- Other people can give you a lot of good advice, but only you can make it happen
- You may not get it right at first, but that shouldn't stop you from trying
- A shared sense of fairness encourages repeatability
- In the end, bad governance is better than no governance at all
