“And now, it’s my pleasure to introduce one of the funniest people I know . . .”
As I approached the podium, a muffled numbness fell over me. The bright lights glared in my face as the crowd, in anticipation, rose to their feet clapping enthusiastically. The subject I had come to speak about completely left me. After that introduction, all I could think of was one thing: “Be funny.” I froze.
Have you ever been in a meeting where an urgent strategic problem is presented and everyone in the room turns to you for the solution? All eyes are on you: the cameras, the lights, the pens in hand—and all you can hear in your head is “Think of something, fast! Innovate!”
But innovation isn’t something you simply pull out of a hat. Innovation is as much about discipline as it is inspiration. It’s something that you build into the fabric of who you are and how you operate. In this chapter, we’ll review the basic tenets of innovation and clear up some of the questions and myths surrounding the subject.
Tip: Relax. There are no right answers. There are only best guesses.
