Either remain average and languish in the middle
under constant threat of extinction, or swing for the
fences and become remarkable. It was clear cut.

INNOVATION REQUIRES DISRUPTIVE THINKING
Disruptive thinkers see the same information others
do, but they interpret it differently. Disruptive thinkers
aren’t satisfied with the status quo, they are looking
for big wins. Disruptive thinkers challenge your mental
models about the world, and they challenge their own
also. - Jim Highsmith, Adaptive Leadership
