A fourth component of the Lichtenstein/Plowman model is stabilization. The more that leaders and members of a system adapt to local constraints, the easier they find it to stabilize the emergent order (Lichtenstein and Plowman, 2009, p. 625). Sensitivity to social rules and values shapes novelties ‘in a way consistent with the system’s accumulated history and learning, preserving the system’s identity and core behavioural patterns’ (Chiles, Myers and Hench, 2004, p. 502). Innovations get clothed in the familiar, which makes other people more willing to learn from them and reduces resistance.
