Most Of Us Do More Than Subsist.

Like A Child Star Whose Fame Fades As The Years Advance, Many Once-innovative Companies Become Less So As They Mature.

As Human Beings, We Are The Only Organisms That Create For The Sheer Stupid Pleasure Of Doing So. Whether It's Laying Out A Garden, Composing A New Tune On The Piano, Writing A Bit Of Poetry, Manipulating A Digital Photo, Redecorating A Room, Or Inventing A New Chili Recipe - We Are Happiest When We Are Creating.

The Only Thing That Can Be Safely Predicted Is That Sometime Soon Your Organization Will Be Challenged To Change In Ways For Which It Has No Precedent.

Most Companies Don't Have The Luxury Of Focusing Exclusively On Innovation. They Have To Innovate While Stamping Out Zillions Of Widgets Or Processing Billions Of Transactions.

From Gandhi To Mandela, From The American Patriot To The Polish Shipbuilders, The Makers Of Revolutions Have Not Come From The Top.
