It’s not hard to find people to dig the ditch they are told to dig. It’s not hard finding people to do what they did yesterday but faster and cheaper. These menial tasks have a low rate of failure. Keep your head down, follow the rules, get paid.
But innovation has nothing to do with compliance. And neither is being generous and connected and being artistic and leading.
Waiting to be told what to do next, following the manual or the dummies guide isn’t going to lead us to where we want to go. So why do we insist on continuing down this road?
Remarkable people are remarkable because they are worth making a remark about. They are scarce. And they need to be embraced for the failures that leads to growth.
On the other hand, competent workers, those who are just good enough, aren’t going to continue to be good enough in a world that is constantly changing.
We need more people to embrace the failures that leads to growth. We need more people like you to stand up and stand out to build a culture that we can be proud of.
