I think that's the real work of leadership: figuring out where you really believe you have significant risk.

Innovation is a game of numbers. How do you get enough ideas into the pipeline?
When people try to tell you what to say, don't do it. You have to own your own point of view.
If you're going to turn on an innovation engine, a lot depends on whether managers listen for the brilliance in their employees' ideas that they can then help test, or whether they listen for what's wrong and why it won't work.
