Listen and hear Stephen share: How to stop trying to think outside the box, instead find a better box. Don’t hire people who fit the mold or your company will grow moldy. Why replication is not innovation. What is challenge centered innovation, and why is it different. Don’t worry about the answers, worry about the questions. http://stephenshapiro.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
