Risk benefit analysis always tell us what is the benefit that we are going to get after taking some risk. "Be a leader" is the most common quote we are listening from many companies these day… creativity and being innovative is one of the best way to survive in today highly competitive environment, but how about the risk-benefit analysis of being creative and innovative - HIGH RISK, HIGH BENEFIT and HIGH Value, but at the same time you never know when your creativity will get obsolete for the world.
I have the great regards for the companies and the people who live the motto of being leader in creativity and innovation, but at the same time if I get a chance, I will surely not choose for it as I am not a risk taking individual. I would rather go for something called "being leader in adapting the innovations creatively", and if luck favors across my establishment (some day). Now what does the Risk-Benefit Analysis says for "being leader in adapting the innovations creatively"... Yes, definitely Less Risk and High Benefit and More Values. So my preference is different, but more important to know is how can one be leader in adopting the innovations creatively. If you are leader in adopting innovations, it means you got to really work on the positive and negative aspects of the innovations, need to judge the future viability and prospect of the innovations, and surely have to consider the scope of development in the innovations.
Blindly following an innovation is like digging a grave, and that too not just for yourself but even for the people who are closely associated with you in the venture for which innovations are adopted. So being a leading follower also takes high stakes, but I will still prefer it over "Being a Leader".
