What is the point in sharing your idea with the world, if other people are just going to copy it anyway? Whether it is your idea or an innovation, you might be scared that once it is out there, someone else will take it and you will be left with nothing. However, that is not how innovation works. In most cases, innovation and creative ideas add more value to the market or industry than previously existed.

What would you prefer: Partially cleaning up two nuclear waste sites, saving 50 lives in the first and 40 in the second every year.

Have you ever heard of someone trying to “game the system”? This refers to the process whereby it is clear what the targets for success are, and an individual, group or company does just enough to qualify for meeting those specific criteria. Even if it means that more important overall success criteria suffer as a result. This can also be the reason why company performance begins to suffer over time, as more bureaucratic processes are introduced to manage employee performance.
