There's another step in this thinking of smart vs new ideas. You need smart + new ideas + execution/productivity.
Einstein didn't just have new ideas. He also excelled at communicating those ideas.
- ChicagoDave 5y agoMy own personal example (let's assume I'm smart and have new ideas!) Because I was a part of an online community from the onset of the Internet age (1997) and also a consultant in Fortune 500 businesses, I was always coming up with ideas. One particular idea I came up with in 2009 was essentially what Slack became five years later. I drew up the UI, pitched it to a bunch of people, INCLUDING MICROSOFT, and yet I was unable to convince anyone that it was a good idea. (Microsoft was so focused on SharePoint, that they never saw the potential). I did not know how to build my idea or execute the concept to prove it to others. So that third piece, execution, is just as critical.
