Seth Godin Innovation Quotations

This notion that it is up to each person to innovation in some way flies in the face of the industrial age, but you know what, the industrial age is over.

No organization ever created an innovation. People innovate, not companies.

It's impossible to have a coin with only one side. You can't have heads without tails. Innovation is like that. Initiative is like that. Art is like that. You can't have success unless you're prepared to have failure. As soon as you say, 'failure is not an option,' you've just said, 'innovation is not an option.'

More process, less innovation. More operations, less innovation. More management, less innovation. More entrepreneurs, more innovation.

You win by trying. And failing. Test, try, fail, measure, evolve, repeat, persist, ...

Anyone who says failure is not an option has also ruled out innovation.

Where do you put the fear when you choose to innovate? The fear is there, but you have to find a place to put it.
