If it’s not in the plans or budgets, the unhatched potential innovation has no place to incubate, break out, and grow. Controlled chaos aptly describes the unstable/stable and unplanned/planned process of successful innovation.

They also careful plan what they say; knowing their words are powerful. You would rarely if ever catch them “going off” in a meeting – unless they had planned to do so for strategic reasons.

Consider Luke 14:28) I’ve never personally been able to plan in great detail more than twelve months out and sometimes, especially in times of less clarity, only a few months, but you need a plan. Put some measurable goals in place to make progress – things you’ll do next week, next month, and in a few months down the road.
