Innovation and change can acquire a bad reputation. But by becoming too rigid in supporting the status quo, many excellent people become negative and reject ideas that could assist them solve problems, attacking instead the new ideas or those who propose them. The courageous task, then, is to separate the workable from the unworkable, consider the agendas of those proposing change, but in the end evaluate the idea for itself alone. That is the key, for in the final analysis, we live in a revolution. To evaluate any idea or proposal requires a clarity of purpose and a sense of results.
Good ideas are ethical and further progress toward the objective.
