Competition has never been more threatening than it is now. innovative thinkers challenge the status quo in their organizations. they are often viewed as "troublemakers." they threaten the defenders of the status quo. so competition within an organization can also be brutal. the most effective leaders overcome "the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom" by being change agents themselves. they encourage and reward innovative thinking. i have observed that people only resist changes imposed on them by other people.
