That's a misunderstanding.

What should be kept stable are the goals the company wants to reach, not the details in execution.

When you notice your navigation app is sending you down a cliff, do you still follow that route? Of course not.

It's the same with organizations, except a lot of organizations are not intelligent and agile enough to course-correct. Just imagine what they could accomplish with better leadership.

Good point. A person or organization has to be careful about blindly following or being blind to the situation they are in.
