Rules, Better Broken


Sometimes to make things happen, all you need is a couple people to challenge the status quo. It usually starts with that one nut in the crowd who stands up and yells "Hey, this sucks! Let's try something else!" and then sooner or later a brave follower joins and the movement, the change, creates itself.

Even science has showed us that an outcome rarely (if ever) changes by following the same pattern of action. So why is it that so many of us as individuals, as companies and as organizations, commit to putting so much effort into creating and abiding by rules when it's clear that the most innovative results come by breaking them?  

Because it's "safe." But not really. It's actually riskier- while you were busy making rules and stamping out change, you were also busy missing out on exciting new ideas and opportunities.

I encourage you to be the nut...or at the very least, be the first follower. SCREAM! YELL! MAKE NOISE! Challenge the status quo and lead the change you want to see.
