Consider big dogs and little dogs.
- Both live, breathe, and constantly regenerate, but their features and their lives will look different, as they should.
- Both grow, but their ultimate size will be dictated by their DNA.
- Both can be healthy, but their health will result in behaviors unique to their kind.
- Both get sick, but their sickness is often common to their breed.
- Both have vital systems--the same vital systems--but their systems are size-appropriate, or something is really wrong.
- Both make their presence known, but their sound as they bark at the world fits exactly who they are.
- Both add value, but their best use differs greatly, and it is the reason their breed is even around.
- Both mature, but their mature disposition reveals their uniqueness.
- Both reproduce, but their offspring will undoubtedly share their characteristics.

The point is that if you spend all of your time and energy trying to grow your organization larger than its DNA will allow, you are fighting an impossible battle and very probably missing your reason and purpose--the value your organization alone can bring!
