Constraints Are Good for Innovation

Culture, Growth Mindset, Innovation, Leadership, LearningBy ShawnJanuary 4, 2021

Transcript: Way back in 1960, Theo Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss, he accepted a bet with his publisher Bennett Cerf. Cerf challenged Geisel to write a book using only 50 different words, and the result became Green Eggs and Ham, which went on to sell over 200 million copies and is now one of…

Culture, Growth Mindset, Innovation, LeadershipBy ShawnNovember 1, 2019
