Here is a mail i received today from a colleague.

I wrote up my idea and since my boss wanted to review it, I sent it to him. But, he is unwilling to look at it saying he is busy. I can send you the rough draft but then will be breaking my trust with him. I wanted to keep you posted just so that you know.I wish people were not so hung up on making success stories for themselves. It really makes idea conception and execution very sluggish.

I made it anonymous.

As there is still the “Innovator’s Risk”.

The difference between theory and practice.

That’s why we need a Corporate Rebels United.

To protect each other. To help each other. To encourage each other. To discover the hidden pearls in our companies.

To fight the barriers that make blossoming of ideas and people impossible.

We want to incubate people not ideas.

Who wants to help me fight these situations ? Who has tips and tricks and strategies to eradicate this from our organizations ? What are best practices to eliminate Innovator’s Risk ?
