The project reminded me of the Flying Tigers in China...undermanned, overworked, and successful.

The most outstanding and skilled leaders are apt to be found among those executives who have a quite strong component of unorthodoxy in their character. Instead of resisting innovation, they symbolize it.

Some would argue that innovating regurlary, at all levels and in all functions is the second basis for sustainable advantage. The most significant issues in this sense is the smell of innovation that will bring the company forward.
Therefore, should inaction be tolerated or not?
