There’s a very interesting article by Cali Williams Yost at Fast Company online: QUARTERLY EARNINGS KILL PEOPLE BASED INNOVATION.

To quote, “If super smart people believe that innovation is the only way out of this Great Recession, then they need to make the restoration of employee trust, motivation, commitment and well-being as high a priority as tax code changes, R&D and education reform.”

For my colleagues who are working in significantly downsized law firms and facing that long, lonely road to doing anything differently, it will sound painfully familiar. Who *are* these folks who think stomping harder on people is the way to get happy innovation?
