In reality, good ideas are the next lifeline to survival. It's an interesting read, but seemingly written from a privileged perspective. My experience in business was that every good idea counts, since one is constantly forced to adapt. You must make the bandwidth to listen to them all, prioritise, select and filter - to understand what informed people are trying to tell you about the situation. Basic leadership "openness/receptive" stuff really. That includes warnings that you think you know better about. Lot's of good ideas are negative and one should still heed them. In the story there's one great idea: "Never get into catering POS with table management". That would have been a good idea to listen to early (smugly proclaimed with hindsight - but no less true).
