> the individuals others in the company point to who single-handedly fought the system and got a new product, project or service delivered There is a toxicity lurking here. We should also be looking for the individuals who brought positive innovations, fought the system, and failed to overcome it. Why failed? Because it's not their fault that the system is broken, we cannot burden innovators with both the fixing of the environment, plus innovation. Else their only innovation may be how to cope with an increasingly terrible organization, and if that org wants survive or evolve it needs the innovators to stay.
