This a million times! I’ve been in the position of the “innovation hero” but also was unfortunate enough to work on “innovation pipeline” implementations within a large company. These never work because: 1. (99% of) employees don’t care. Th

I’ve always envisioned Mallory and Irvine rushing to the summit with light nailed boots, no oxygen and tweed jackets, dammit! Armed with only their insane courage. Turns out he had a gabardine jacket fortified with wool and silk: https:&#x
