Makes sense. It's easier to be right by saying no, but this mindset costs great opportunities. People who are interested in their own career management can't innovate.
You can't innovate without taking career-ending risks. You need people who are confident to take career-ending risks repeatedly. There are people out there who do and keep winning. At least on the innovation/tech front. These people need to be in the driver seat.
- rhetocj23 1y ago"You can't innovate without taking career-ending risks." Its not the job of employees to bear this burden - if you have visionary leadership at the helm, they should be the ones absorbing this pressure. And thats what is missing. The reality is folks like Zuck were never visionaries. Lets not derail the thread but a) he stole the idea for facebook b) the continued success of Meta comes from its numerous acquisitions and copying its competitors, and not from organic product innovation. Zuckerberg and Musk share a lot more in common than both would like to admit.
- jongjong 1y agoIf we want to maximize justice instead of corporate performance then we have to abolish the system, confiscate corporate wealth and redistribute it equally. That would probably be more just than what we have today... But the corporations would all collapse. It depends what you want to optimize for.
- danaris 1y agoThat doesn't mean there isn't a middle ground, y'know—where company/division/organization leaders both advance ideas and take responsibility for them.
