Is your organization more afraid of success than it is of failure?

Executing on innovation in higher education requires finesse, knowledge, and intense drive. But above all, it demands courage.

He also talks about how finding the most courageous people in your organization and putting them in a room together can create a magnetic pull that can inspire your entire university to take action toward innovation.
