Kanter's 9 rules for stifling innovation
- Managers are suspicious of any new idea from below
- Invoke history. Whenever a new idea arises, people find a similar previous idea that did not work to justify which this one will not work either.
- Keep people really busy
- Encourage cut-throat competition
- Stress predictability above all
- Strategies and plans are made by a small group.
- Punish failure.
- Blame problems on the incompetent people below
- Never forget that we got to the top because we already know everything there is to know about this business.
