Take the TDI Pledge!

Happy 2006!  It's a brand new year and time for TDI readers to take the The Daily Innovator's Pledge.  This is a very straightforward little pledge, one that should be quite easy for you to remember and recite to yourself each morning:

• I will challenge myself to innovate everyday.
  
• I will challenge others to innovate everyday.
  
• I will challenge naysayers to think differently everyday.
  
• I will challenge my organization to embrace innovation everyday.
  
• I will challenge myself to innovate everyday.

As you can see, this pledge begins and ends with your individual commitment and your personal responsibility.  This is the only way it can be.  The Daily Innovator must be the driving force for innovation, and must seek to inspire others with a compelling vision of what is possible through innovation.  If you can innovate everyday, in ways big or small, the cumulative effect of your efforts over time will produce an irresistible force that will wear down the immovable objects of deep-seated intransigence and risk aversion.

So welcome to the new year!  It's time for you to get started on what's next.  Will you take the pledge?
