These organizations have answered the make-or-break questions facing leaders in every field:
- Do you see opportunities the competition doesn't see? The most successful organizations embrace one-of-a-kind ideas in a world filled with me-too thinking.
- Do you have new ideas about where to look for new ideas? Practices that are routine in one field can be revolutionary when they migrate to another field.
- Are you the most of anything? Companies used to be comfortable in the middle of the road. Today, the middle of the road is the road to ruin.
- Are you getting the best contributions from the most people? It may be lonely at the top, but change is not a game best played by loners.
