Imitate or Innovate, that is the question.
Leaders have a choice to make. Should they imitate what has already been successfully done, or innovate away from the past and chart their own course?
Can a career be summed up in three words: Imitate or Innovate?
In my career I have found that the answer to the question on whether to imitate or innovate is – it depends.
Imitation is preferred when you are following success. Innovation is preferred when you are defining success.
Sometimes your job is to do it the right way; sometimes it’s to invent the right way.
