In my article "Is Google getting it right", published on your website some weeks ago, I concluded the exact same point, that being innovators and pioneers of people development is not about ticking off a to-do list, it is about creating a culture of growth, learning reward and all the other good things, which are all sustainable tools. Isnt being an innovative thinker about being innovative, ie coming up with something new, and not just copying someone elses idea?! But isnt it funny how people are always looking for the quick fix - in the words of Jesse Livermore on the subject of investing: The average man doesn’t wish to be told that it is a bull or a bear market. What he desires is to be told specifically which particular stock to buy or sell. He wants to get something for nothing. He does not wish to work. He doesn’t even wish to have to think. BRILLIANT!

Everybody wants the emperor's clothes but few of us actually have the guts to acknowledge that our own ambition, our own nakedness is actually revealed by our rush to look good rather than be great from the inside. Our core needs to be developed and there is no quick-fix. I believe this post illustrates that form comes before function.
