Innovation
is the lifeblood of an
organization. Knowing
how to lead and work with creative people requires
knowledge and action that often goes against the typical
organizational structure. Protect unusual people from
bureaucracy and legalism typical of organizations. |

competitive survival depends

I like my job because it involves
learning.

Hope without a
strategy doesn’t
generate leadership.
Leadership
comes when your hope and your
optimism are matched with a
concrete vision of the future
and a way to get there. People
won’t follow you if they don’t
believe you can get to where you
say you’re going...

are not skilled at managing
