We all want results now. We want innovation now. We want our dreams to come true now. That's such a human thing to want. But here is the thing, time is a construct and we are not in charge of time passing. We are only in charge of our experience as time passes.  Your innovation strategy must incorporate time, because it will pass, but, you can't force time, rush it or slow it. Your innovation will come when you take your internal resourcing, your external supports and add it to time ..read more

But...that's not what I am talking about in this podcast series. This series is on innovation leadership. If you can lead through innovation, you can do ANY kind of innovation you want...it doesn't have to be tied to a specific project. Join today and if you are in the next 3 businesses that sign ..read more
