thanks for the post!

it is sad, but true, that these (and several more) innovation-inhibiting management behaviours are still practised so widely.

here are some suggestions of my own for the list:
11. uphold the age-old principle of punishing people who are associated with failed projects (that will demotivate everyone from
supporting innovative ideas)
12. insist on seeing financial data on every idea proposed (you can kill any idea with financial forecasts)
13. do not make innovation part of anyone’s annual goals (to make sure that nobody has an incentive to pursue it)
14. insist that everybody take on innovation tasks in addition to their current projects (who cares that they are all working at 130% already?)
15. never venture beyond your established mindset (change is uncomfortable!)

regards

graham
