Thanks.
One way to inter...A good and timely post. Thanks.<br /><br />One way to interpret Goldsmith is that smart people (whatever that means) needn't bother contributing. Or, "It's hopeless for you smart folks because we dumber ones won't listen." Or,"We will ignore your brilliant ideas because your interpersonal skills are so poor."<br /><br />Since innovation continues, I think that Goldsmith is dead wrong. Many times the innovation has to come from outside the organization, however, especially if it is radical innovation. The "sludge" in the organizational processes may force the radical innovators to set up shop across the street to sell the innovation to the organization. It sometimes behooves the smart people (again, I wonder what that means) to set up the outside company and cause less acute internal disruption.A.
