Comments on: George Lucas Innovates Outside the Hollywood Box http://workingknowledge.com/blog/?p=868 Accelerating your business success Wed, 25 Aug 2010 22:06:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Seth Kahan http://workingknowledge.com/blog/?p=868&cpage=1#comment-1744 Seth Kahan Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:16:31 +0000 http://workingknowledge.com/blog/?p=868#comment-1744 I would like to see those three actions you listed applied to the global business issues we are facing today. Imagine: * how the prevailing ecosystem could be hindering innovation * what might happen if we took innovation outside of the existing company and industry boundaries to start true greenfield ventures * embracing the outsiders who are entering the global economy — the tumult of ownership changes combined with owners who don’t know “tradition” and the opportunities it might generate Thanks for this provocative post!

He was unashamedly confident in his own artistic judgment. He knew he had it, he knew it wasn't B.S., and he acted on this knowledge, repeatedly. I think that's a lesson for all managers.
