The real problem in society is the attitude that those so-called few of us who are leaders and innovators should define and control the goals and environments of everyone else's work life.  The best leadership and innovation is from those who promote continual feedback and ideas from others, and use them to implement changes to improve their organization's products and/or services.  The problem in too many workplaces these days are rigid top-down leadership structures that stifle innovation and ideas.  Such organizations are resistant to change and often fall victim to their competitors who embrace change.
