re: Why do new managers always come in and want to change everything?

Seems like the vast majority want to put their stamp on stuff and not maintain the status quo....

You are correct when referring to a manager, as in someone without skin in the game.

When talking about a skin in the game owner it's because virtually nothing about the previous system worked as designed and produced as expected, often for reasons that the previous manager could control or predict.

Workers without skin in the game see everything through a different lens than the guy with something and sometimes everything to lose.
