I loved Jared Spool’s idea of the work continuum.

One one side you have the most informal, loose and effective ways to get things done. At the other you have dogma.

tricks techniques process methodology dogma

It is so easy to slide to the right side of the continuum and so hard to get back to a place that is flexible and open. Nothing kills innovation like believing in your own dogma.

Great ideas about a complex topic clearly articulated. Excellent article, as always, Steven. I’ve always liked your notion that leadership’s role in innovation is to create conditions where bottom-up innovation can happen and to nurture it when it does. (Like gardening, and not like manufacturing twinkies).
