HBR Blog: Procrastination is Essential to Innovation

Yep, you heard me right.

Just don't tell your children...

Here's my latest post from HBR.

Do you find that procrastination leads to anxiety which becomes the combustible that drives you to innovate?  What does that look like?  Or, if it isn't the case, under what circumstances do you find yourself coming up with new ideas or ways of doing things?

And yes, my book is just 60+ days away. I am going to start sending out updates in the next 1-2 weeks.  Many of you are on my list, but if you definitely want to be updated, will you let me know either by leaving a comment, or face-booking, or tweeting?  Or telling me IRL -- which would be even better.

Here's another blurb sneak peek from Liz Strauss who I admire greatly!

This book belongs in every success toolkit. Business leader and master storyteller, Whitney Johnson shows how remarkable things happen when we dare to claim our strengths, own our dreams, and do what we're meant to do.  A fabulous guide for business and for life. -- Liz Strauss, international business strategist and author of Successful-Blog.com
