Disruption
When you think innovation, your mind focuses on big, disruptive examples.
Innovation becomes synonymous with the category killers: Netflix, iPhone, the printing press.
This is due to their magnitude and impact as well as novelty associated with their emergence into the world.
Most innovations, including the above, did not begin with the premise of absolute disruption.
The same goes for developing your team.
You can visualize the moonshot outcome you want to get them to; but the work of getting them there begins with incremental change today.
Whether you are innovating a product or a team, jumping straight to complete disruption is a high-risk, low-return investment.
Find the incremental shift in perspective or behaviour and cultivate it.
Once you give it space to develop, you might be surprised at how disruptive it can become.
