The main reason innovation is so difficult to foster in a business, I believe, is the fear of rejection that people have to overcome when they are championing a new idea.
Without a doubt, one of the most important qualities successful innovators must be blessed with is a very tough skin.
"My advice to any company that wants to truly foster innovation is to let everyone know that while the company must excel at operations, it must also excel at innovation." -- the entire last paragraph is an excellent one.
