Kereru Brewing Co<p>Do I know, or do you know, someone in the USA who is an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Importer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Importer</span></a> of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Alcohol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alcohol</span></a> and works with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FedEx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FedEx</span></a> and happens to already have in place a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Continuous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Continuous</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bond</span></a> that might be willing to work with us? Our current importer seems to have ghosted and vanished without renewing their bond. It is disappointing for customers and us when we have to get orders returned back to us. Volumes are small (as are values, relatively speaking). Please boost for effect. Thanks!</p>
Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Daily inspiration: "The difference between good &amp; great companies isn't when they innovate, but that they never stop!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Over the years, I've had several companies come to me, seeking a speaker for a leadership or annual conference, stating that their 'theme this year is innovation.'</p><p>I tried hard not to crack up.</p><p>As in, you only do this once?</p><p>You are going to 'do' innovation and then move on to the next thing?<br>Shouldn't you be innovative all the time?</p><p>I've always been sure that their intentions are good, and in most cases, it has been - they are in an innovative mind space and are always prepared to explore their opportunities through creativity.</p><p>But there have been many others for whom innovation seems to have been a 'one-time thing,' an afterthought, an item to address on a checklist before moving on to the next leadership buzz thing.</p><p>Um, OK.</p><p>The reality is this: innovation isn't an annual event - it's the daily heartbeat of progress that keeps organizations alive. When you schedule innovation for a conference as a one-time topic, you've already missed the point. True innovation lives in every moment of every day. And in fact, the most dangerous words in business aren't 'We're failing,' but 'We'll innovate next quarter.' Innovation isn't a theme - it's the very air successful organizations breathe. The fact is, if you have to declare an innovation season, you're already living in the depths of a pretty brutal leadership winter.</p><p>The difference between average companies and great companies is that tomorrow's leaders don't schedule creativity or innovation &nbsp;- they cultivate it in every conversation, decision, and moment. </p><p>The companies that survive don't ask when to innovate - they ask why they ever stopped! </p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Continuous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Continuous</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Success" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Success</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leadership</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Change</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Progress</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Reinvention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reinvention</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mindset</span></a>---</p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/01/daily-inspiration-innovation-leadership-the-difference-between-good-great-companies-isnt-when-they-innovate-but-that-they-never-stop/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/01/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-innovation-leadership-the-difference-between-good-great-companies-isnt-when-they-innovate-but-that-they-never-stop/</span></a></p>
