Have you ever had a new idea that you knew was literally “the” idea of the century, but when you take it to the powers that be, it dies a quick death?
This cartoon from Tom Fishburne of Marketoonist.com nails this topic:

You can fill in the blank with your own reasons why you can’t focus on the amazing new opportunity, but the fact is that when innovation dies, so does sustainable growth.
How do you answer the golden goose opportunity when it comes to you?
