• Innovation is seeing beyond sight.
– Sight – function of the eyes
– Beyond sight – vision – function of the heart
• Innovation demands that you see differently
and in different combinations

8. A true Eenovator
A true innovator does not believe in failure. They believe its an
opportunity to do it differently.
“One great thing about Silicon Valley is that failure is not a big
stigma,” said Musk at STVP Future Fest in 2015. “You can learn
from that and do another company, and it’s not a big deal.”

9. Leadership and Innovation
• Innovative Leaders do not
live in history, they live to
make history
• Leadership wants to feed on
your innovative mind to solve
problems not pessimistic
view on problems

10. Samson and the Jaw bone
Innovation demands that you throw away things
that worked in the past
