Innovation is the name of the game in many industries, certainly in all of those that we recruit for. Innovation fosters new products, new categories and new consumerism – which leads to what we are all in business for: to make money. After all, this is America – we are a capitalistic society. I believe that some of the most innovative endeavors come not only from those million-dollar ideas (or million-dollar investments), but from people.
I recently read an article on habits by Janet Rae-Dupree, and one line in particular struck me: “You cannot have innovation unless you are willing and able to move through the unknown and go from curiosity to wonder.”
It made me think about people and how often opportunities to grow as individuals, are missed because of the fear of the unknown.
