“In the most innovative companies, there is a significantly higher volume of thank-yous than in companies of low innovation.”

—Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School professor

RECOGNITION BREEDS INNOVATION

“We’ve found the missing link…to innovation! (And, since you’re reading this book, so have you.)

Don’t want to end up a dinosaur in your industry? The key is recognition.
