I was just talking with @Patrice Conrath about this yesterday.

When disruptive newness appears within a living organism the antibodies arrive ready to attack. If leaders are serious about innovation, they need to create a protected space to incubate it. Seems like there are three potentials:

1. No protection and the innovators have to create in a hostile environment.

2. Protection and advocacy from leadership incorporates implementation in the organization.

3. Protection and disinterest from leadership leaves innovation to die in its cocoon.
