More quotes by Scott D. Anthony
It's one of the underappreciated skills required by an innovator - they have to be able to convince lots of people to do things that might not be fully rational (invest in the company, join something that is likely to fail, try a product they've never seen before), and if you can't tell a good story it is just very hard to make that happen.

The reality is customers lie - not because they want to want to deceive you, but because they don't do a good job of predicting what they will do in the future.
Scott D. Anthony
Successful strategies adhere to a basic pattern.

Teams working on disruptive ideas need to be small enough that they can be fed by no more than two pizzas.
Scott D. Anthony
Good innovators are careful observers, network extensively, run experiments, ask lots of questions, and find ways to bring diverse ideas together. Overarching all of this is an intrinsic interest in working through puzzles.
Scott D. Anthony
People who live in more than two countries are more successful innovators.

It would be fun too to put some of the great philosophers and political scientists of the past couple centuries into a time machine, have them look at the world today, and see what they think. Imagine Schumpeter, Malthus, Hobbes, Nietzsche, Marx, and more! That would be good fun.
