Editor's Notes
- #3 to stay ahead of whatever exigent circumstances will arise.
- #4 Let’s give these some working definitions
- #5 The editor, Robert Safian used words like “Inspiring”, Examples of Creativity”, and ”Positive Change. I have included the top 10 in Green text What he did not do is define innovation. You may recognize several of these organizations and others may be completely foreign to you. The closest thing to an innovative health provider in this list is CVS or WalMart!

- #7 Our education system trains us to follow commands, think within certain norms. The system does not teach us to think independently or divergently, rather it teaches to specific norms. However, adults learn best when they are able to suspend their own assumptions and have a discourse where they search for new meaning. This is how new norms are formed. Rosen (2013 THE BOUNTY EFFECT suggests we create a path to lead command-and control people to be more trusting, vulnerable, and collaborative.
- #8 This is an ineffective cliché which we use frequently. Why? Let's create a visual
- #9 The Problem of the Proverbial Box Here is a box A different box And so on, and so on, and so on. Lets say I am a Nurse Manager, Physician, Executive, Board Member, a Community (Houston Population ) Here is what happens when you ask ,e to "Think out of the Box" I go to the next logical box. Which box do you want me to think outside of? The boxes get larger, more complex, an d more foreign as I move away from "my box" . The norms change. The Command-and Control Structure takes hold. I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE NORMS OR BE COMFORTABLE BEING VULNERABLE IN THE NEXT BOX!
