Nurture the courage to be disliked

from How Innovation Works: Serendipity, Energy and the Saving of Time by Matt Ridley

How to Apply This

  1. Write down the idea you wanted to pursue but fear it might receive backlash.
  2. Evaluate how you feel about your idea’s potential to receive backlash.
    If there is a potential for backlash, does that make you less excited or less likely to explore that innovation further?
  3. Write down how you would deal with the backlash after you’ve presented your idea to the public.
