Innovation, insider and outsider
Looking at the management of a company, an outsider’s perspective can be far different from that of an insider. People tend to paint roses on success stories, but few can imagine the hardship those insiders have to overcome.
The more famous a company is, the more people from the outside think differently about its management comparing to those who are in the inside. Even the insiders have to talk and act so that their company’s image can stay positive in the eyes of the public.
There can be countless of magazine articles and books writing about how great a successful enterprise or celebrated individual has been. However, it’s just one side of a coin. On the other side, there can be also negative emotions, struggles, confusion or even frustration…
People don’t just laugh at challenges bravely or conquer their fear easily at a blink of an eye. They also have hard times, disappointments, disagreements… In order to understand fully how innovation and management work in a company, we need to look at both sides of the story.
