David's Time With Peter F. Drucker 2020.5.18 What Not to Do There are Three Traps to avoid into which change leaders fall again and again. 1.The first trap is an innovation opportunity that is not in tune with the strategic realities discussed in Chapter 2 of this book. It is most unlikely to work. The only innovation likely to succeed is one that fits these major realities-of demographics, of the changes in the distribution of income, of the way the institution itself and its customers define "performance," of global competitiveness or of political and economic realities. But the "misfit" opportunity often looks very tempting——precisely because it looks truly "innovative." But even if not resulting in failure——as it usually does——it always requires extraordinarily wasteful amounts of effort, money and time. ——《Management Challenges for the 21st Century · Chapter3》(Peter F.Drucker,1999)
