L's company kept his role in the original company despite that company being sold, acquired, merged and resold many times through his career - he remained the thing that never changed, the fixture that everyone else came to rely upon. Would that work for most people - maybe not we concluded. So no surprise, no one else had such a career trajectory and none of us knew of anyone else who did
Zildjian, the world's oldest cymbal manufacturer, has been crafting cymbals for over 400 years using a secret process1. Founded in 1623 in Constantinople (now Istanbul), the company now operates from Norwell, Massachusetts, producing at least a million cymbals annually. They have been doing one thing and doing is well enough to make it 400 years. Maybe there is a lesson there to learn on longevity of purpose.
