All good stories need a protagonist and an antagonist, the "good' character and the not so good character to develop tension. Eventually, in any story, the tension is resolved - the protagonist wins (in the happy ending stories) or the antagonist changes sided, or the antagonist wins (unhappy resolution). Every story with any meaning or tension has these two opposing forces.

Values are essential to how an enterprise honors its mission.

I am going to go out on a limb. Not a big limb, but any time you make a written prediction that people can come back and check, you put yourself at risk. My prediction has to do with innovation. Predicting innovation will seem unusual and risky for many people, because innovation seems so random and difficult to anticipate, like a lightning strike. But if you understand the conditions that make a lightning strike possible, suddenly the strikes don't seem so surprising.

We live in a world designed to be convenient and easy for us. This convenience has led us to rely on defaults , taking the path of least resistance and not bothering to question the answers others have chosen for us. However, is this the best approach? Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist, and professor at the Wharton School of Business, has found that our reliance on defaults can have a profound impact on our creativity.
