You will frequently hear CEOs from different companies committing to make innovation a cornerstone of their organization. Some of them just make a noise and settle down in the usual routine, but there are many who are passionately committed to their vision and have also devised detailed and effective strategies to make it a reality. They give it their best shot but are unable to achieve what they set out to. There are many reasons for such unfortunate occurrences but one of the major handicaps comes in the form of people who may initially nod their heads in agreement but never follow up on their commitment because they are quite comfortable with the status quo and are not really interested in helping their CEO achieve his/her vision of innovation, worse they may actually create barriers in letting that happen..
