    Principles for Innovating

    • 1: Experience the world instead of talking about experiencing the world
    • 2: See and hear with the mind of a child
    • 3: Always ask: "How do we want people to feel after they experience this?"
    • 4: Prototype as if you are right. Listen as if you are wrong.
    • 5: Anything can be prototyped. You can prototype with anything.
    • 6: Live life at the intersection
    • 7: Develop a taste for the many flavors of innovation
    • 8: Most new ideas aren't
    • 9: Killing good ideas is a good idea
    • 10: Baby steps often lead to big leaps
    • 11: Everyone needs time to innovate
    • 12: Instead of managing, try cultivating
    • 13: Do everything right, and you'll still fail
    • 14: Failure sucks, but instructs
    • 15: Celebrate errors of commission. Stamp out errors of omission.
    • 16: Grok the gestalt of teams
    • 17. It's not the years, it's the mileage

    • 19: Have a point of view
