Gary Hamel in Future of Management

Gary Hamel says in The Future of Management

"Today, obedience, diligence, and expertise can be bought for next to nothing. From Bangalore to Guangzhou, they have become global commodities"

He further gives a Table of relative contribution of specific human capabilities in value creation and comes up with following Table

Passion 35%
Creativity 25%
Initiative 20%
Intellect 15%
Diligence 05%
Obedience 00%
----------------------------
Total 100%
----------------------------

He further states and I quote, "... rule-following employees are worth zip in terms of competitive advantage they generate"

Would like to hear the readers views? Do you believe above %ages or would like to change them or would like to add any other factors - for example, Managers who quote numbers, may like to have Standardized processes as human capabilities!

"I will tell how to innovate - You innovate"

Innovation has become such an abused word everywhere, that nowadays, i dont even look at these articles and books.

Secondly, there are people who say," you should do innovation the way I am telling you". They will typically back it up with post facto stories of someone did that and did this.

Having met many such self-professed guru's, I am already tired of their lessons learned and abstracted to create their methods of innovation.

When you ask them to - lets do it, they say "yes yes, you do it, we are with you".
It is rare that these people will take the plunge into change!

To my mind, people who preach and preach - loose authenticity and credibility.

Are you a preacher or an innovator?
