Great talk by Guy Kawasaki at Cisco Live – apart from the great stuff on innovation, notice his clean, simple and high impact slides that illuminate his talk. He distils the art of innovation into 10 steps:
1. Make meaning
2. Make a mantra (not a mission statement)
3. Jump to the next curve
4. Roll the dice
5. Don’t worry, be crappy
6. Let 100 flowers blossom
7. Polarize people
8. Churn, baby, churn
9. Follow the 10-20-30 rule
10. Don’t let the bozos get you down

In Alistair Harkness’s review of the movie (500) Days of Summer in the (4/9/09) Scotsman, he says this about a moment in the movie:
It’s a beautiful moment that nails the way movies can sometimes penetrate a desire for escapism and get at the truth of a situation, even when you don’t want them to.
Reminds me of why I love movies so much, and appreciate the power of movies such as the Matrix (pic above).
My friend and colleague Alan and I have ‘set homework’ for a leadership course Lifetree is facilitating. Unusual homework – to watch either or: The Straight Story, or Twelve Angry Men, and to come to the learning event with what struck you about either of these movies relating to their reflection on leadership and leadership acts. Be interesting to see what emerges from the dialogue.
