People don’t want to think anymore

You would be surprised how many people in high up positions don’t have the vision to be innovative. It’s like everyone is so worried about loosing their job and making a mistake that no one wants to ever take a chance. Companies are all watching each other to see what the other is doing. One company in the space makes a move, then the others all follow like sheep.

This is why it has become so easy for small companies to forge ahead these days. It takes very little to move a herd of 4 people in a different direction as supposed to moving a 4000 person herd to a new concept. I understand how this works, but why?

How do companies ever expect to be the best and stay at the top without innovation from within?
