Innovation Should not be Painful
Just today I read a post from an Innovator in LinkedIN that Innovation is painful and that we should just accept that it will be so. Companies will resist and will fight those 'doing' innovation inside corporations and this is a fact that we must accept. As one that has endured the struggles and negativity of innovating in deficient environments I have to say: I categorically disagree. The danger with 'accepting' is that we may forget that a piece of the mission is to endeavor to make the world a better place and as such we have to always try to change the ecosystem around us to be more supportive of innovation initiatives. The World does not need more naysayers and corporate organizations that are against Innovators. We need the opposite. We need more new ideas making it into production faster for the benefit of all. We need more innovators with minds that can blend new trends into new ideas. We need organizations to actively support, encourage, inspire in
