It’s a Ground War, Not an Air War Leading people through periods of change is not done at a distance . You have to keep grinding it out, pressing your people, acknowledging their fears, and pushing for those little changes in what they feel, believe and do.

“Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation.” – Charles Stanley True Innovation Has Risk and Failure

Closing Thoughts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 It’s hard to develop new ventures if you can’t stop the ones that are not working . The processes that make the core business strong may impede new business development . Corporate entrepreneurship is a collective effort , not an individual effort . Innovative thought takes collaboration with other thinkers, companies and resources . Making real change is a ground war , not an air war. You can’t be afraid of failure. It drives the learning process! Growth takes courage .
