The rate of change is not going to slow down anytime soon. If anything, competition in most industries will probably speed up even more in the next few decades.

In terms of getting people to experiment more and take more risk, there are at least three things that immediately come to my mind. Number one, of course, is role-modeling it yourself.

Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there.
