Innovation isn’t a miracle. It’s not the product of a lone genius sitting in a garage or a serendipitous moment where someone trips over a breakthrough idea. It’s a process—a structure. And like a three-legged stool, it needs balance to stand. Without all three legs, innovation collapses.

When times seem bleak, it’s crucial to remember this and focus on preparing for those future moments, so you’re ready to seize the opportunities they bring. I remember moving to Poland in 1997, shortly after the Berlin Wall had fallen.

Navigating a relationship with a manager you perceive as ineffective or unqualified can be daunting, but it can also be a catalyst for growth. Rather than allowing frustration to erode your engagement and productivity, shift your focus to what you can control. You may not have control over who you report to, but you can control the beliefs, assumptions, and narratives you create about the situation, as well as the impact of your behavior on those around you.
