All too often I have seen just the opposite take place in an organization. Someone comes up with a new idea and the general tenor of the conversation is to point out why the idea will not work rather than trying to figure out how it might succeed. The innovator learns that new ideas are not welcome. Or, the new idea is implemented, but the individual who is responsible for the idea does not receive any particular accolade for having guided the idea to fruition. The result is that the innovator is exhausted and learns that extraordinary efforts at reform are simply not supported. One need not be a semiotician to deduce that one’s time is better spent on efforts other than reform.
