"Mindless habitual behavior is the enemy of innovation"
- Rosabeth Moss Kanter
About this Quote
This quote by Rosabeth Moss Kanter speaks with the value of being open to change and new ideas. It suggests that if we end up being too comfy with our routines and habits, we can end up being resistant to originalities and innovation. This can be destructive to our individual and professional development, along with to the development of society as a whole. We must want to challenge our own beliefs and habits in order to remain open to originalities and possibilities. We should want to take risks and attempt new things in order to remain ahead of the curve and stay competitive. By welcoming modification and innovation, we can produce a much better future for ourselves and for the world.
"When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith"
