Part of the problem is that we have developed a mindset of indefinite optimism or hoping the future will get better with no plan—the future just-sort-of-happens approach.

It makes them approachable, and it makes them human.

As illustrated in the chart below, most organizations begin by taking the approach in upper left corner (almost by definition). They begin to cope with their size by cementing in systems, structures and policies, that inadvertently kill speed, agility and innovation.

I like the definition of a genius provided by German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer: “A person of talent hits a target that no one else can hit; a person of genius hits a target that no one else can see.” Practice may make the old perfect, but it does not produce innovation.” Talent may be the impetus, but hard work moves it along.
