They include:Hire people you don’t like. Bring in the right mix of people to unleash your team’s full potential.Asking for ideas is a bad idea. Instead, define challenges more clearly. If you ask better questions, you will get better answers.Don’t think outside the box. Instead, find a better box.

Looking at innovation as a series of experiments allows you to redefine and minimize failure.This compact book shows that non-stop innovation is attainable and vital to building a high-performing team, improving the bottom line, and staying ahead of the pack.
