Innovation Gravity

Dateline:  Hong Kong

Segment 1: Innovation Gravity

– Innovation success creates complacency
– You you have to fight that complacenty – what I call ‘innovation gravity’
– How?

– Ingnore past success
– Create new challenges for yourself and your team.  Don’t accept the “same as last time” objectives

– If you can’t find it in you to resist the gravity

– Consider taking an extended break
– Swith to something you know nothing about (new job, new responsibility, new company)

– Only a small % of people can operate at a high level of performance over an extended period of time
– To be in the small group of successful people, you have to resist the pull of gravity
