Anarchist or Entrepreneur?

"Any fool can make a rule and every fool will mind it."

Henry David Thoreau

19th century American naturalist/philosopher

True, but without rules we have anarchy.

The trick is to find balance between the need for structure and the benefit that comes from entrepreneurial thinking and behavior.

How do you do that?

(A great discussion on this comes from Clayton Christensen's "The Innovator's Dilemma".)

Hiring the Unconventional

"We are half ruined by conformity; but we should be wholly ruined without it."

Charles Dudley Warner
19th century essayist/novelist
